Q2 of 65 Page 4

Which of the following equations can be written in the form of ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0, let us write it.

i.


ii.


iii.


iv. (x - 2)2 = x2 – 4x + 4

(i) The given equation is


It can be written as






Therefore, this equation is of the form where a,b,c are real numbers.


Here, a = 1 which is non-zero, b = -7 and c = 1


(ii) The given equation is


It can be written as




Therefore, this equation is not of the form where a,b,c are real numbers.


Here, the highest degree of x in the equation is 3.


So, it is not a quadratic equation


(iii) The given equation is


This equation is not of the form where a,b,c are real numbers.


So, it is not a quadratic equation.


(iv) The given equation is


It is not a quadratic equation as both the sides are same and not forming an equation.
