Question 5:

Convert the following in the polar form:

(i) , (ii) 

Answer:

(i) Here, 

Let r cos θ = –1 and r sin θ = 1

On squaring and adding, we obtain

r² (cos² θ + sin² θ) = 1 + 1

⇒ r² (cos² θ + sin² θ) = 2 ⇒ r² = 2                                     [cos² θ + sin² θ = 1]

∴z = r cos θ + i r sin θ

This is the required polar form.

(ii) Here, 

Let r cos θ = –1 and r sin θ = 1

On squaring and adding, we obtain

r² (cos² θ + sin² θ) = 1 + 1 ⇒r² (cos² θ + sin² θ) = 2

⇒ r² = 2                        [cos² θ + sin² θ = 1]

∴z = r cos θ + i r sin θ

This is the required polar form.

Question 6:

Solve the equation

Answer:

The given quadratic equation is 

This equation can also be written as 

On comparing this equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we obtain

a = 9, b = –12, and c = 20

Therefore, the discriminant of the given equation is

D = b² – 4ac = (–12)² – 4 × 9 × 20 = 144 – 720 = –576

Therefore, the required solutions are

Question 7:

Solve the equation

Answer:

The given quadratic equation is

This equation can also be written as 

On comparing this equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we obtain

a = 2, b = –4, and c = 3

Therefore, the discriminant of the given equation is

D = b² – 4ac = (–4)² – 4 × 2 × 3 = 16 – 24 = –8

Therefore, the required solutions are

Question 8:

Solve the equation 27x² – 10x + 1 = 0

Answer:

The given quadratic equation is 27x² – 10x + 1 = 0

On comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we obtain

a = 27, b = –10, and c = 1

Therefore, the discriminant of the given equation is

D = b² – 4ac = (–10)² – 4 × 27 × 1 = 100 – 108 = –8

Therefore, the required solutions are

Question 9:

Solve the equation 21x² – 28x + 10 = 0

Answer:

The given quadratic equation is 21x² – 28x + 10 = 0

On comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0, we obtain

a = 21, b = –28, and c = 10

Therefore, the discriminant of the given equation is

D = b² – 4ac = (–28)² – 4 × 21 × 10 = 784 – 840 = –56

Therefore, the required solutions are
