Question
Find the nature of roots of the following quadratic equations:
`12x^2-4sqrt15x+5=0`
Solution
The given equation is `12x^2-4sqrt15+5=0`
This is of the form `ax^2+bx+c=0` where `a=5, b=-10 and c=6`
∴Discriminant, `D=b^2-4ac=(-4sqrt15)^2-4xx12xx5=240-240=0`
Hence, the given equation has real and equal roots.
