⇒ 3t2 − 2t + 1 = 0
⇒ 3x2 − 2x + 1 = 0

62) Since α,β are the roots of equation x2 − 3x + 5 = 0

So α2 − 3α + 5 = 0; β2 − 3β + 5 = 0
∴ α2 − 3α = −5 ...... (i)
β2 − 3β = −5 ...... (ii)
Putting the value from (i) and (ii) in (α2 − 3α + 7) and (β2 − 3β + 7)
We get (–5 + 7) and (–5 + 7)
∴ 2 and 2 are the roots
∴ The required equation is x2 − 4x + 4 = 0

63) Let α be the common root of the two equations then,

2α2 + kα – 5 = 0
α2 – 3α – 4 = 0
Solving these two equations, we get

⇒ (4k + 15) (k + 6) = 9 ⇒ 4k2 + 39k + 81 = 0

64) Let
⇒ x2y – x + 4y = 0
Now, x ∈ R ⇒ B2 − 4AC ≥ 0
⇒ 1 − 4y . 4y ≥ 0 ⇒ (4y − 1) (4y + 1) ≤ 0

65) D > 0 ⇒ 4(a − 3)2 − 4⋅9 > 0

⇒(a − 3)2 − 9 > 0
⇒ a2 − 6a > 0
⇒ a(a − 6) > 0
⇒ a ∈ (−∞, 0) ∪ (6, ∞)
f(6) < 0
⇒ 36 + 12(a − 3) + 9 < 0
⇒ 12a + 9 < 0
⇒ a + 4/3​ < 0
⇒ a < − 4/3​

→ a ∈ (−∞, −3/4)

66)

α + β + γ = −5
αβ + βγ + αγ = −7
αβγ = 1
αβ(βγ) + (βγ) (γα) + (γα) (αβ)
= αβγ(α + β + γ) = −5
(αβ) (βγ) (γα) = 12 = 1
The equation:
x3 − (−7)x2 + (−5)x − (1) = 0
⇒ x3 + 7x2 − 5x − 1 = 0

67) (p – q) + (q – r) + (r – p) = 0
x = 1 is root

Product of the root =

other root is –

68) (α + β), (α2 + β2), (α3 + β3) in G.P.

⇒ (α2 + β2)2 = (α + β) (α3 + β3)
⇒ α4 + 2α2 β2 + β4 = α4 + αβ3 +α3β + β4
⇒ α3β − 2α2β2 + αβ3 = 0
⇒ αβ(α2 − αβ + β2) = 0
⇒ αβ(α − β)2 = 0 .....(1)

69) y = ax2 + bx + c
→ The parabola is opens down ⇒ a < 0
→ Cut the y-axis at positive point ⇒ c > 0
→ Both roots are real and different ⇒ b2 – 4ac > 0
c > 0: Correct.

70) esinx = y

⇒ y2 – 4y + 1 = 0

esinx = 2 + , as esinx can't be negative

The possible value of esinx is

No real roots

71) px2 + qx + 1 will have real roots if D ≥ 0

⇒ q2 − 4p ≥ 0
⇒ q2 ≥ 4p
p = 1, q = 2, 3, 4
p = 2, q = 3, 4
p = 3, q = 4
p = 4, q = 4
The number of equation : 3 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 7

72) We have x3 − 2x2 + 2x − 1 = 0

⇒ (x − 1) (x2 − x + 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 1 or x = −ω, −ω2
Since ax2 + bx + a = 0 and x3 − 2x2 + 2x − 1 = 0 have two roots in common, therefore −ω and
−ω2 are common roots. (as either both the roots of a quadratic equation are real or non-real).
Now −ω is a root of ax2 + bx + a = 0 ⇒ a(1 + ω2) − bω = 0
⇒ a(−ω) − bω = 0 (as 1 + ω + ω2 = 0) ⇒ a + b = 0

73) log4​(x − 1) = log2​(x − 3)

⇒ log2​(x − 1)1/2 = log2​(x − 3)
⇒ (x − 1)1/2 = x − 3 ⇒ (x − 3)2 = x − 1
⇒ x2 − 7x + 10 = 0 ⇒ (x − 5) (x − 2) = 0
x = 5, 2
but x ≠ 2, as for x = 2,
log2​(x − 3) will be [Link]. of solution → 1

74) Case I. x2 − 5x + 5 = 1
& x2 + 4x + 60 ∈R
x2 − 5x + 5 = 1
⇒ x2 − 5x + 4 = 0 ⇒ (x − 4) (x − 1) = 0 ⇒ x = 1,4
Case II. x2 − 5x + 5 = −1
& x2 + 4x + 60 = even integer
x2 − 5x + 5 =−1
⇒ x2 − 5x + 6 = 0
⇒ (x − 2) (x − 3) = 0 ⇒ x = 2
x ≠ 3 as x = 3, x2 + 4x + 60
→ will be odd.
Case III. x2 − 5x + 5 ∈ R − {0}
x2 + 4x − 60 = 0
⇒ x2 + 10x − 6x − 60 = 0
⇒ (x − 6) (x + 10) = 0
⇒ x = 6,−10
Sum of all real values of x:
1 + 4 + 2 + 6 − 10 = 3

75) x2 – 6x – 2 = 0
⇒ a10 – 6a9 – 2a8 = 0
⇒ a10 – 2a8 = 6a9
