Q1 of 58 Page 118

Find the roots of the following quadratic equation if they exist.

x2 - 6x + 5 = 0

x2 - 6x + 5 = 0

The equation is of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0


Since a≠0 ,so it exists


We use the method of factorization to solve it


⇒ x2 - 5x - x + 5 = 0


⇒ x(x - 5) - 1(x - 5) = 0


⇒ (x - 1)(x - 5) = 0


⇒ x = 1,5
