58637.Equation of $(x+1)^{2}-x^{2}$=0 has number of real roots equal to:
1
2
3
4
Explanation:

$(x+1)^{2}-x^{2}$=0

$X^{2}+2x+1-x^{2} $= 0

2x+1=0

x=-$\dfrac{1}{2}$

Hence, there is one real root.

58638.The roots of $100x^{2} – 20x + 1$ = 0 is:
$\dfrac{1}{20}$ and $\dfrac{1}{20}$
$\dfrac{1}{10}$ and $\dfrac{1}{10}$
$\dfrac{1}{10}$ and$ \dfrac{1}{10}$
None of the above
Explanation:

Given, $100x^{2} – 20x + 1$=0

$100x^{2} – 10x – 10x + 1$ = 0

10x(10x – 1) -1(10x – 1) = 0

$(10x – 1)^{2}$ = 0

∴ (10x – 1) = 0 or (10x – 1) = 0

⇒x =$ \dfrac{1}{10}$ or x = $\dfrac{1}{10}$

58639.The sum of two numbers is 27 and product is 182. The numbers are:
12 and 13
13 and 14
12 and 15
13 and 24
Explanation:

Let x is one number

Another number = 27 – x

Product of two numbers = 182

x(27 – x) = 182

⇒ $x^{2} – 27x – 182$ = 0

⇒$ x^{2} – 13x – 14x + 182$ = 0

⇒ x(x – 13) -14(x – 13) = 0

⇒ (x – 13)(x -14) = 0

⇒ x = 13 or x = 14

58640.If $\dfrac{1}{2}$ is a root of the quadratic equation $x^{2}-mx-\dfrac{5}{4}$=0, then value of m is:
2
-2
-3
3
Explanation:

Given x=$\dfrac{1}{2}$ as root of equation $x^{2}-mx-\dfrac{5}{4}$=0.

($\dfrac{1}{2} )^{2} – m(\dfrac{1}{2} ) – \dfrac{5}{4}$ = 0

$\dfrac{1}{4} -\dfrac{m}{2}-\dfrac{5}{4}$ =0

m=-2

58641.The altitude of a right triangle is 7 cm less than its base. If the hypotenuse is 13 cm, the other two sides of the triangle are equal to:
Base=10cm and Altitude=5cm
Base=12cm and Altitude=5cm
Base=14cm and Altitude=10cm
Base=12cm and Altitude=10cm
Explanation:

Let the base be x cm.

Altitude = (x – 7) cm

In a right triangle,

$Base^{2} + Altitude^{2} $= $Hypotenuse^{2} $(From Pythagoras theorem)

∴$ x^{2} + (x – 7)^{2}$ = $13^{2}$

By solving the above equation, we get;

⇒ x = 12 or x = – 5

Since the side of the triangle cannot be negative.

Therefore, base = 12cm and altitude = 12-7 = 5cm

58642.The roots of quadratic equation $ 2x^{2} + x + 4 $ = 0 are:
Positive and negative
Both Positive
Both Negative
No real roots
Explanation:

$ 2x^{2} + x + 4$ = 0

⇒ $ 2x^{2} + x$ = -4

Dividing the equation by 2, we get

⇒ $ x^{2} + \dfrac{1}{2}x$ = -2

⇒ $ x^{2} + 2 × x × \dfrac{1}{4}$ = -2

By adding ( $ \dfrac{1}{4})^{2}$ to both sides of the equation, we get

⇒ $ (x)^{2} + 2 × x × \dfrac{1}{4} + ( \dfrac{1}{4})^{2}$

= $ ( \dfrac{1}{4})^{2} – 2$

⇒$ (x + \dfrac{1}{4})^{2} $ = $ \dfrac{1}{16}– 2$

⇒ $ (x + \dfrac{1}{4})^{2}$ = $ \dfrac{-31}{16}$

The square root of negative number is imaginary, therefore, there is no real root for the given equation.

58643.If one root of equation $4x^{2}-2x+k-4$=0 is reciprocal of the other. The value of k is:
-8
8
-4
4
Explanation:

If one root is reciprocal of others, then the product of roots will be:

$\alpha \times \dfrac{1}{\alpha}$ =$\dfrac{ (k-4)}{4}$

k-4=4

k=8

58644.A quadratic equation $ax^{2} + bx + c$ = 0 has no real roots, if
$b^{2} – 4ac > 0$
$b^{2} – 4ac$ = 0
$b^{2} – 4ac$ < 0
$b^{2} – ac$ < 0
Explanation:

A quadratic equation $ax^{2} + bx + c $= 0 has no real roots, if $b^{2} – 4ac$ < 0.

That means, the quadratic equation contains imaginary roots.

58645.The product of two consecutive positive integers is 360. To find the integers, this can be represented in the form of quadratic equation as
$ x^{2} + x + 360$ = 0
$ x^{2} + x – 360$ = 0
$2x^{2} + x – 360 $
$ x^{2} – 2x – 360$ = 0
Explanation:

Let x and (x + 1) be the two consecutive integers.

According to the given,

x(x + 1) = 360

$ x^{2} + x $ = 360

$ x^{2} + x – 360$

58646.The equation $(x + 1)^{2} – 2(x + 1) $= 0 has
two real roots
no real roots
one real root
two equal roots
Explanation:

$(x + 1)^{2} – 2(x + 1)$ = 0

$x^{2}+ 1 + 2x – 2x – 2$= 0

$x^{2} – 1$ = 0

$x^{2} $= 1

x = ± 1
