Question
Find the roots of the quadratic equation `x^2 - (sqrt(3) + 1)x + sqrt(3)` = 0.
Solution
The given equation is `x^2 - (sqrt(3) + 1)x + sqrt(3)` = 0
⇒ `x^2 - sqrt(3)x - x + sqrt(3)` = 0
⇒ `x(x - sqrt(3)) - 1(x - sqrt(3))` = 0
⇒ `(x - 1) (x - sqrt(3))` = 0
⇒ `(x - 1)` = 0 or `(x - sqrt(3))` = 0
x = 1 or x = `sqrt(3)`
Hence, x = 1, `sqrt(3)` are the roots of the given quadratic equation.

Determine whether (x – 3) is a factor of polynomial x3 – 19x + 30.
Let P(x) = x3 – 19x + 30
By remainder theorem, `square` will be a factor of P(x), if P(3) = 0
Now, P(3) = `square` – 19 `square` + 30
= `square – square` + 30
= `square – square`
= 0
∵ P(3) = 0
Hence, `square` is a factor of polynomial x3 – 19x + 30.
