1. (b), (c) and (d) are quadratic equations.
2. (a) 3x 4 = x
2
x
2
3x + 4 = 0
(b) x(4 x) = 5
4x x
2
= 5
x
2
4x + 5 = 0
(c) (x 1)(5 + x) = 2x
5x + x
2
5 x = 2x
x
2
+ 4x 5 2x = 0
x
2
+ 2x 5 = 0
(d) x 2 =

(x 2)(x + 1) = 4x
x
2
+ x 2x 2 = 4x
x
2
5x 2 = 0
(e) 5(x + 3)(2x 1) = (x + 3)(4 x)
5(2x

x + 6x 3) = 4x x
2
+ 12 3x

2
+ 24x 27 = 0
3. (a) Substitute x = 1 into the expression,
x
2
2x + 1 = 1
2
2(1) + 1
= 0
Thus, x = 1 is a root.
(b) Substitute x = 2 into the expression,
5x
2
3x = 5(2)
2
3(2)
= 20 + 6
= 26 (6)
Thus, x = 2 is not a root.
(c) Substitute x = 2 into 3x
2
and 4x + 4 respectively,
3x
2
= 3(2)
2
= 12
4x + 4 = 4(2) + 4
= 12
Since LHS = RHS, therefore x = 2 is a root.
4. (a) (x + 5) = 0
x = 5
Hence, x = 5 is a root.
(b) 2x 1 = 0
x =
1
2
Hence, x =
1
2
is a root.
(c) When (1 3x) = 0
x =
1
3
When (x + 3) = 0
x = 3
Hence, x = 3 is not a root.
5. (a) x
2
9 = 0
Try using the factors of 9, that is, 1, 9, 1, 9,
3, 3.
When x = 3 or x = 3,
x
2
9 = 0
Therefore, x = 3 and x = 3 are the roots.

When the x-axis is the tangent to the curve, then

That is, x

Sum of roots = a
p + q = a ................................. 1
Product of roots = 2a
pq = 2a ......................... 2
pq = 2(p + q)
pq = 2p + 2q
6. 3x

6p + 9
= (p 3)

Since (p 3)
2
> 0 for all values of p,
then b
2
4ac > 0 for all values of p.
Therefore, equation 3x
2
+ p + 3x + px = 0 has roots
for all values of p.
7. Substitute x = 0, y = 0 into y = ax
2
+ bx + c,
\ c = 0
y = ax
2
+ bx
Substitute x = 4, y = 8 into y = ax
2
+ bx,
8 = a(4)

16a + 4b = 8
4a + b = 2 ....................................... 1
Given a + b + 4 = 0
a + b = 4 ........................ 2
1 2, 3a = 6
a = 2
Substitute a = 2 into 2,
2 + b = 4
b = 6
Therefore, a = 2, b = 6 and c = 0.
When y = 0, 2x

6x = 0
2x(x 3) = 0
x = 0 or 3
8. The quadratic equation is
x
2
(2 + p)x + (2)(p) = 0

(p 2)x 2p = 0
Given product of roots = sum of roots
2p = 2 + p

p =

Since q is real non-zero number, then q

values of q.
Therefore, b

4ac , 0 for all values of q.
Hence, there is no real roots for all values of p and q.
