Determine the number and type of solutions to each quadratic equation.

a)b2+7b-13=0b)5a2-6a+10=0c)4r2-20r+25=0

Short Answer

Expert verified

The number and type of solution are

a) as discriminant is greater than zero the equation has 2 real solution

b) as discriminant is less than zero the equation has 2 complex solution

c) as discriminant is equal to zero the equation has 1 real solution.

Step by step solution

01

Part a) Step 1: Given information

We are given a quadratic equationb2+7b-13=0

02

Part a) step 2: Identify the values of a,b,c

On comparing with standard equation we geta=1,b=7,c=-13

03

Part a) Step 3: Find the value of discriminant

We have,

=b2-4ac=49-4(1)(-13)=49+52=101

As the values of discriminant is greater than zero the equation has 2 real solution

04

Part b) Step 1: Given information

We are given a quadratic equation5a2-6a+10=0

05

Part b) Step 2: Identify the values of a,b,c

On comparing with standard equation we geta=5,b=-6,c=10

06

Part b) Step 3: Find the value of discriminant

We have

=b2-4ac=36-4(5)(10)=36-200=-164

As the value of discriminant is less than zero the equation has 2 complex roots

07

Part c) Step 1: Given information

We are given a quadratic equation4r2-20r+25=0

08

Part c) Step 2: Identify the values of a,b,c

On comparing with standard equation we geta=4,b=-20,c=25

09

Part c) Step 3: Find the value of discriminant 

We have,

=b2-4ac=400-4(4)(25=400-400=0

as the value of discriminant is zero the equation has 1 real root

10

Conclusion

The number and type of solution are

a) as discriminant is greater than zero the equation has 2 real solution

b) as discriminant is less than zero the equation has 2 complex solution

c) as discriminant is equal to zero the equation has 1 real solution.
