Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization method
4x2 – 12x + 25 = 0
Answer :
Given 4x2 – 12x + 25 = 0
⇒ 4x2 – 12x + 9 + 16 = 0
⇒ (2x)2 – 2(2x)(3) + 32 + 16 = 0
⇒ (2x – 3)2 + 16 = 0 [∵ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2]
⇒ (2x – 3)2 + 16 × 1 = 0
We have i2 = –1 ⇒ 1 = –i2
By substituting 1 = –i2 in the above equation, we get
(2x – 3)2 + 16(–i2) = 0
⇒ (2x – 3)2 – 16i2 = 0
⇒ (2x – 3)2 – (4i)2 = 0
Since a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b), we get
(2x – 3 + 4i)(2x – 3 – 4i) = 0
⇒ 2x – 3 + 4i = 0 or 2x – 3 – 4i = 0
⇒ 2x = 3 – 4i or 2x = 3 + 4i
Thus, the roots of the given equation are.
