Quadratic Equations - Summary

CBSE Class 10 - Maths - Quadratic Equations - Summary

A polynomial of degree 2 is called quadrilateral polynomial. The general form of a quadrilateral polynomial is ax2 + bx+ c, where a, b, c are real numbers such that a ≠ 0 and x is a real variable.


If p(x) = ax2  + bx + c, a ≠ 0 is a quadratic polynomial and α is a real number, then p(α) = aα2 + bα + c is known as the value of the quadratic polynomial p(x).

A real number α is said to be a zero of the quadratic polynomial p(x) = ax2  + bx + c, if p(α) = 0.

If p(x) = ax2  + bx + c is a quadratic polynomial,then p(x) = 0 i.e. ax2  + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0 is called a quadratic equation.

A real number α is said to be root of the quadratic equation ax2  + bx + c = 0, if aα2 + bα + c = 0.
In other words, α is a root of ax2  + bx + c = 0 if and only if α is zero pf the polynomial p(x) = ax2  + bx + c.

CBSE Class 10 - Real Numbers Problems on Euclid's Division Algorithm(2016)

Real Numbers Problems on
Euclid's Division Algorithm(2016)

CBSE Class 10 - Real Numbers   Problems on Euclid's Division Algorithm(2016)

Q1(CBSE 2012): Using Euclid’s division algorithm, find the HCF of 240 and 228.

Answer: By Euclid’s division algorithm,
⇒ 240 = 228 × 1 + 12
⇒ 228 = 12 × 19 + 0
∴ HCF (240, 228) = 12


Q2(CBSE 2014): The length, breadth and height of a room are 8m 25 cm, 6m 75 cm and 4 m 50 cm respectively. Find the length of the longest rod that can measure the three dimensions of the room exactly.

Answer:
∵ 1m = 100 cm
∴ 8 m 25 cm = 825 cm
6 m 75 cm = 675 cm
4 m 50 cm = 450 cm
The length of the longest rod = HCF(825, 675, 450)
⇒ 825 = 675 × 1 + 150
675 = 150 × 4 + 75
150 = 75 × 2 + 0
∴ HCF(825, 675) = 75
450 = 75 × 6 + 0
∴ HCF(450, 75) = 75
∴ HCF (825, 675, 450) = 75×
Thus, the length of the longest rod is 75 cm.

Q3(NCERT Exemplar): Write whether every positive integer can be of the form 4q + 2, where q is an integer.Justify your answer.

Answer: No, every positive integer cannot be expressed as only of the form 4q + 2.

The Road Not Taken

Summary
CBSE Class 9 - English (C) - The Road Not Taken - Summary (#eduvictors)
The poem is a metaphor about the dilemma of making decisions that we have to make in our lives.

Poet: Robert Frost (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963)

Summary

It was autumn and the leaves had turned yellow. The poet or the traveller was passing through a wood. He stood at a place where the road forked into two different directions. The roads were covered with yellow leaves. It appeared nobody had passed through these roads since morning. The port was in a fix which road to take. He could choose only one path. He glanced at both the roads. One of the roads bent in the bushes while the other one was grassy. Fewer people had travelled by that road. He chose to walk on that road. He kept the other road for some other day though he did not hope to come back to that place again.
