Pair of Linear Equations in two Variables and Quadratic Equation
Linear Equation in Two Variables
A linear equation in two variables is an equation which contains a pair of variables which can be graphically represented in xy-plane by using the coordinate system. For example ax + by = c and dx + e y = f, is a pair of linear equations in two variables' Solutions of the linear equation in two variables are the pair of values of the variables that satisfies the given equation. In other words, we can say that a system of linear equation is nothing but two or more linear equations that are being solved simultaneously. Mostly, the system of equations are used in the business purposes by predicting their future events. They model a real life situation in two system of equations to find the solution and manage their business. We can make an accurate prediction by using system of equations. The solution of the system of equations in two variables is an ordered pair that satisfies each equation.
Graphical Representation of a Pair of Linear Equations in two variables
If \[{{a}_{1}}x\text{ }+\text{ }{{b}_{1}}y+\text{ }{{c}_{1}}==\text{ }0\text{ }and\text{ }{{a}_{2}}x+\text{ }{{b}_{2}}y\text{ }+{{c}_{2}}=\text{ }0\]are a pair of linear equations in two variables such that:
If \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\] then pair of linear equations is consistent with a unique solution.
If \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}=\frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}}\] then the pair of linear equations is consistent and dependent and having infinitely many solutions.
If \[\frac{{{a}_{1}}}{{{a}_{2}}}=\frac{{{b}_{1}}}{{{b}_{2}}}\ne \frac{{{c}_{1}}}{{{c}_{2}}},\] then the pair of linear equations is inconsistent and have no solution.
Unique Solution
If the lines represented by a pair of linear equations are intersecting each other at one point, then the system is said to have unique solution. The point at which the two lines intersect each other is called the solution of the system of equation.
No Solution
If the graph of the system of equation is parallel and does not intersect each other at any point, then it is said to have no solution.
Infinitely Many Solutions
If the lines represented by the pair of linear equations in two variables coincides each other, then it is said to have infinitely many solution.
Solving the System of Equations
There are different algebraic methods for solving the system of linear equations.
The three different methods are:
Find the relation between m and n for which the system of equations 4x + 6y = 7 and (m + n) x + (2m - n)y = 21, has unique solution.
(a) 2m = 3n (b) m = 5n
(c) 2m \[\ne \] 3n (d) m \[\ne \] 5n
Ans. (d)
Explanation:
We have, the system of equations 4x + 6y = 7 and (m + n) x + (2m - n) y = 21
For a unique solution, the required condition is \[\frac{4}{m+n}\ne \frac{6}{2m-n}\]
\[\Rightarrow 8m-4n\ne 6m+6n\Rightarrow 8m-6m\ne 6n+4n\Rightarrow 2m\ne 10n\Rightarrow m\ne 5n\]
Quadratic Equation
Quadratic equation is a type of polynomial of degree two. The general form of a quadratic equation is \[a{{x}^{2}}+\text{ }bx\text{ }+\text{ }c,\]where a, b, c are the constants and a\[\ne \]O. The quadratic equation which contains both second and first powers of the variable is called a complete quadratic equation and the equation in which first is missing is called pure quadratic equation.
Roots of a Quadratic Equation
The values of variable x which satisfy the quadratic equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+\text{ }bx\text{ }+\text{ }c\text{ }=\text{ }0\text{ }\left( a=O \right)\]is called the roots of a quadratic equation.
Nature of Roots of a Quadratic Equation
The general form of a quadratic equation is \[a{{x}^{2}}+\text{ }bx\text{ }+\text{ }c\text{ }=\text{ }0.\] This equation can be solved by using the Discriminant method. In this method first we find the discriminant \[D\text{ }=\text{ }{{b}^{2}}-\text{ }4ac\]of the given quadratic equation.
In case of real roots we can find the roots by using the formula, \[x=\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{{{b}^{2}}-4ac}}{2a}or\frac{-b\pm \sqrt{D}}{2a}\]
A quadratic equation can have maximum of two roots.
Relations Between the Roots of a Quadratic Equation
If \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] are the roots of the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+\text{ }bx\text{ }+\text{ }c\text{ }=\text{ }0,\]then the relation between the roots of the quadratic equation is given by:
Sum of the roots =\[\alpha +\beta =\frac{b}{a}\]
Product of the roots =\[\alpha \beta =\frac{c}{a}\]
Formation of Quadratic Equations
If \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] are the roots of the quadratic equation, and S denotes its sum and P denotes its product, then the quadratic equation is given by: \[{{x}^{2}}\text{ }S\text{ }x\text{ }+\text{ }P\text{ }=\text{ }0\]
The value of k for which the equation \[{{\mathbf{k}}^{\mathbf{2}}}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}-\mathbf{2}\left( \mathbf{2k}-\mathbf{l} \right)\text{ }\mathbf{x}+\mathbf{4}=\mathbf{0}\] have real and equal roots is:
(a) \[\frac{1}{2}\] (b) \[\frac{1}{8}\]
(c) \[\frac{1}{4}\] (d) \[\frac{1}{6}\]
Ans. (c)
Explanation: The given equation is \[{{k}^{2}}{{x}^{2}}-2\left( 2k\text{ }-\text{ }1 \right)x\text{ }+\text{ }4\text{ }=\text{ }0\]
Discriminant (D) \[=4\,\,{{\left( 2k-1 \right)}^{2}}-4.4.{{k}^{2}}\] \[=4\left( 4{{k}^{2}}+1-4k \right)-16{{k}^{2}}=16{{k}^{2}}+4-16k-16{{k}^{2}}=4-16k\]
For real and equal roots, D = 0. So, 4 \[-\]16k = 0 \[\Rightarrow K=\frac{1}{4}\]
