1. Find the roots of Quadratic Equation `x^2+10x-56=0` by the method of perfect square

Solution:
`x^2+10x-56=0`

`=>x^2+10x-56 = 0`

Comparing the given equation with the standard quadratic equation `ax^2+bx+c=0,`

we get, `a=1, b=10, c=-56.`

`:. Delta=b^2-4ac`

`=(10)^2-4 (1) (-56)`

`=100+224`

`=324`

`:. sqrt(Delta)=sqrt(324)=18`

Now, `alpha=(-b+sqrt(Delta))/(2a)`

`=(-(10)+18)/(2*1)`

`=8/2`

`=4`

and, `beta=(-b-sqrt(Delta))/(2a)`

`=(-(10)-18)/(2*1)`

`=-28/2`

`=-14`


2. Find the roots of Quadratic Equation `25x^2-30x+9=0` by the method of perfect square

Solution:
`25x^2-30x+9=0`

`=>25x^2-30x+9 = 0`

Comparing the given equation with the standard quadratic equation `ax^2+bx+c=0,`

we get, `a=25, b=-30, c=9.`

`:. Delta=b^2-4ac`

`=(-30)^2-4 (25) (9)`

`=900-900`

`=0`

`:. sqrt(Delta)=sqrt(0)=0`

Now, `alpha=(-b+sqrt(Delta))/(2a)`

`=(-(-30)+0)/(2*25)`

`=30/50`

`=3/5`

and, `beta=(-b-sqrt(Delta))/(2a)`

`=(-(-30)-0)/(2*25)`

`=30/50`

`=3/5`
