प्रश्न

Solve the following quadratic equation by completing square method : x2 + 10x + 21 = 0. 

उत्तर

x2 + 10x + 21 = 0

x2 + 10x = -21

To complete the square, find the third term.

`"Third term "=(1/2"coefficient of x")^2`

Coefficient of x=10

`therefore" Third term "=(1/2xx10)^2=(5)^2=25`

Add 25 on both the sides,

x2 + 10x + 25=-21+25

(x + 5)2 = 4

x + 5 = ± 2 ... Taking square root on both sides

x + 5 = 2 or x + 5=-2

∴ x = -3 or x =-7

Complete the following activity to solve the given word problem. The Sum of squares of two consecutive even natural numbers is 244, then find those numbers.

Activity: Let the first even natural number be x
Therefore its consecutive even natural number will be = (______)
By the given condition,
x2 + (x + 2)2 = 244
x2 + x2 + 4x + 4 – (______) = 0
2x2 + 4x – 240 = 0
x2 + 2x – 120 = 0
x2 + (______) – (______) – 120 = 0
x(x + 12) – (______) (x + 12) = 0
(x + 12)(x – 10) = 0
x = (______)/x = 10
But natural number cannot be negative, x = – 12 is not possible.
Therefore first even natural number is x = 10.
Second even consecutive natural number = x + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12.
