Q25 of 34 Page 1

Solve the following quadratic equation by applying the quadratic formula: p2x2 + (p2 – q2) x – q2 = 0

Comparing with standard quadratic equation i.e. ax2 + bx + c = 0


We get,


a = p2


b = p2 - q2


c = -q2


By quadratic formula, solutions of a quadratic equations in form ax2 + bx + c = 0 are



Putting values, we get,
