(ii) 9a²b²x² – 24abcdx + 16c²d² = 0, a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0
(iii) 2 (a² + b²) x² + 2 (a + b) x + 1 = 0
(iv) (b + c) x² – (a + b + c) x + a = 0

Answer - 15 : -


Question - 16 : -
Determine the set of values of k for which the given following quadratic equation has real roots :
(i) x² – kx + 9 = 0
(ii) 2x² + kx + 2 = 0
(iii) 4x² – 3kx +1=0
(iv) 2x² + kx – 4 = 0

Answer - 16 : -


Question - 17 : - If the roots of the equation (b – c) x² + (c – a) x + (a – b) = 0 are equal, then prove that 2b = a + c. [CBSE 2002C]

Answer - 17 : -


=> a + c = 2b
=> 2b = a + c
Hence proved.
