Solve, x2 = 3x + 4


Solution.

Given equation is x2 = 3x + 4

Converting given equation into Standard Form of Quadratic Equation. ax2 + bx + c = 0

x2 = 3x + 4 converted into x2 - 3x - 4 = 0

Comparing it with the standard Form of Quadratic Equation ax2 + bx + c = 0

a = 1, b = -3, c = -4

As we know, discriminant = b2 - 4ac

Discriminant = (-3)2 - 4(1)(-4)

Discriminant = 9 - (-16)

Discriminant = 25

Since discriminant > 0
Both roots are real and unequal.

Using quadratic formula


Roots(x1, x2) = −b ± √   b2 − 4ac 
         2a          


Roots(x1, x2) = −b ± √ D
         2a          


x1 = −b + √D
         2a          


=   −(-3) + √25
         2(1)          


=    3 + 5
         2          


= 4


x2 = −b - √D
         2a          


=   −(-3) - √25
         2(1)          


=    3 - 5
         2          


= -1


Roots: x1 = -1,     x2 = 4


Sum of roots = -b/a

Sum of roots = -(-3)/(1)

Sum of roots = 3


Product of roots = c/a

Product of roots = (-4)/(1)

Product of roots = -4
