Q1 of 83 Page 85

Find the discriminant of the following quadratic equations and discuss the nature of the roots:

√6 x2 — 5x + √6 = 0

√6x2 – 5x + √6 = 0


Comparing equation √6x2 – 5x + √6 = 0 with ax2 + bx + c = 0 we get


a = √6, b = – 5 and c = √6


Discriminant (D) = b2 – 4ac


D = (– 5)2 – 4(√6)(√6)


D = 25 – 4 × 6


D = 25 – 24


D = 1


As D > 0 roots of equation √6x2 – 5x + √6 = 0 are real and distinct
