NCERT Class X Chapter 4: Quadratic Equation Exercise 4.2 Question 1 (iv) Question: Find the roots of the following quadratic equations by factorisation : 2x 2 – x + (1/8) = 0 Given: The quadratic equation: 2x 2 – x + 1 8 = 0 To Find: The roots of the equation by factorisation. Formula: For a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 , we can find two numbers m and n such that: ax² + bx + c = ax² + mx + nx + c where m × n = a × c m + n = b Cases: If (a × c > 0) and b < 0 , both m and n are negative . If (a × c > 0) and b > 0 , both m and n are positive . If (a × c < 0) , the numbers m and n have opposite signs . Solution: The given equation is 2x 2 – x + 1 8 = 0. First, clear the fra...
