Question

The values of a for which y = x2 + ax + 25 touches the axis of x are ______.

Fill in the Blanks

Solution

The values of a for which y = x2 + ax + 25 touches the axis of x are ±10.

Explanation:

`"dy"/"dx"` = 0

⇒ 2x + a = 0

i.e. x = `- "a"/2`

Therefore, `"a"^2/4 + "a"(- "a"/2) + 25` = 0

⇒ a = ±10

Hence, the values of a are ± 10.
