State whether the following quadratic equations have two distinct real roots. Justicy your answer: `x(1-x)-2=0` |
|
Answer» Given equation is `x(1-x)-2=0` `implies x-x^(2)-2=0` `implies x^(2)-x=2=0` On comparing with `ax^(2)-bx+c=0` we get `a=1, b=-1` and `c=2` `:.` Discriminant `D=b^(2)-4ac` `=(-1)^(2)-4(1)(2)=1-8=-7lt0` i.e. `Dlt0` Hence the equation `x(1-x)-2=0` has imaginary roots i.e. no real roots. |
