Formulae Definitions & Concepts

1. Standard form of a quadratic equation : The most general form of a quadratic equation, called the
standard form is ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0
2. Roots (or solutions) of a Quadratic equation : Those values of x, which satisfy a quadratic equation,
are called roots (or solutions) of the equation. Thus, a real number α is called a root of the quadratic
equation if α 2 + bα + c = 0 .
A quadratic equation can have atmost two roots, which are usually denoted by α and β .
3. Discriminant of a quadratic equation : It is a relationship between the coefficients of a quadratic
equation and is given by D = b2 – 4ac.
4. Finding the roots of a quadratic equation : There are three methods to find the roots of a quadratic
equation.
i) By the factorisation method : It is applied when the discriminant of a quadratic equation.
D = (b2 – 4ac) is a perfect square of a positive number
ii) By the quadratic formula : It directly gives the two roots of a quadratic equation, provided
discriminant D ≥ 0 by the formula stated below:

−b ± b2 − 4 ac
x= ,
2a
5. Nature of Roots : The nature of roots of a quadratic equation depends upon the nature of its discriminant
i) If D > 0, (i.e. positive), then the roots are real and unequal/ distinct.
ii) If D = 0, then the roots are real and equal/ coincident.
iii) If D < 0, then there are no real roots.

cost of production of each article (in <) was one more than twice the number of articles produced on
that day. The total cost of production on that day was < 210.
a) Taking number of articles produced on that day as x, form a quadratic equation in x.
b) Find the number of articles produced and the cost of each article

SOLUTIONS
Let number of articles produced = x
and cost of each article be < y
a) ∴ y = 1 + 2x and xy = 210
⇒ x(1 + 2x) = 210 ⇒ 2x2 + x – 210 = 0
b) 2x2 + 21x – 20x – 210 = 0 ⇒ (2x + 21)(x – 10) = 0

a) Sides of pool are 7 – 2x and 12 – 2x
Area = 36 sq.m
⇒ (7 – 2x) (12 – 2x) = 36 12
⇒ 4x2 – 38x + 48 = 0

CBSE MATHEMATICS

(OR)
Can any rational value of x make the new area equal to 220 cm2?

SOLUTIONS
i) (18 + x) (12 + x) = 2(18 × 12)
ii) x2 + 30x – 216 = 0
iii) Solving : x2 + 30x – 216 = 0
⇒ (x + 36) (x – 6) = 0 x ≠ −36 ∴⇒ x = 6
new dimensions are 24 cm ? 18 cm
(OR)
If (18 + x) (12 + x) = 220

39. Three students were asked how they would verify their solution of a quadratic equation,
(x – 2)(x – 5) = 0. Shown below are their responses.
Student 1 said, “In the first bracket, x must equal 2, and in the second bracket, x must equal 5.
So (2 – 2) (5 – 5) = 0,”
Students 2 said, “In the first bracket, x must equal 2, but in the second bracket, x can have any real
number value. For example, (2 – 2)(3 – 5) = 0 or (2 – 2)(10 – 5) = 0.”
Student 3 said, “Both brackets should always have the same x value. So, x is either 2 or 5 in both
brackets. For example, (2 – 2)(2 – 5) = 0 and (5 – 2)(5 – 5) = 0.”

Ø Central tendency : A measure of central tendency is a typicl value of the data around which other
observations congregate types of measure of central tendency : Mean, Mode, Median.
Ø Mean : The quotient of the sum of all the items or entries divided by the total number of items is
called Arithmetic Mean. It is denoted by x .

⎝ ∑ fi ⎠
Ø Mode :
i) If an observation occur more frequently in the data or an observation with the highest frequency
is called the mode of the data. It is denoted by Z.
Ex : Mode 5, 7, 9, 10, 11, 9, 21 is 9
⎛ f1 − f0 ⎞
ii) The mode for grouped data = l + ⎜ ×h
⎝ 2 f1 − f0 − f2 ⎟⎠
where l = lower limit of the modal class
h = size of the class interval
f1 = frequency of the modal class
f0 = frequency of the calss preceding the modal class
f2 = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
Ø Median : If the values xi in the raw data are arranged in order of increasing or decreasingthen the
middle most value in this arrangement is called the median.
i) If the number of values (n) arranged in order of magnitude is odd then the only median will be

ii) If the number of values (n) arranged in order of magnitude is even then it will have two medians

they are ⎜ ⎟ and ⎜ + 1⎟ values. But for definiteness the arithmetic mean of these two

iii) The median for ground data = l + ⎜ 2 ×h
⎝ f ⎟⎠
Where l = lower limit of the median class
n = number of observations
cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class
f = frequency of the median class
h = class size (size of the median class)
Ø Deviation in values of central tendency : If ‘x’ number is added to each data value, the mean, mode
and median will also increase by x. If each data value is multiplied by ‘x’ number, the mean, mode
and median will also be multiplied by x.
Ø Empirical relation : Mode = 3 Median – 2 Mean

Electric buses have a range of approximately 280 km with just one charge. These buses are superior
to diesel buses as they reduce brake wear and also reduce pollution. Transport department of a city
wants to buy some electric buses for the city. So, the department wants to know the distance travelled

5. Mutual Fund : A mutual fund is a type of investment vehicle that pools money from multiple investors
to invest in securities like stocks, bonds or other securities. Mutual funds are operated by professional
money managers, who allocate the fund’s assets and attempt to produce capital gains or income for
the fund’s investors. (March - 2024)

Net Asset Value (NAV) represets a fund’s per share market value. It is the price at which the investors
buy fund shares from a fund company and sell them to a fund comapany.
The following table shows the Net Asset Value (NAV) per unit of mutual fund or ICICI mutual
funds :

6. BINGO is game of chance. The host has 75 balls numbered 1 through 75. Each player has a BINGO
card with some numbers written on it. The participant cancels the number on the card when called out
a number written on the ball selected at random. Whosoever cancels all the numbers on his/her card,
says BINGO and wins the game. (March - 2024)

7. Heart Rate : The heart rate is one of the ‘vital signs’ of health in the human body. It measures the
number of times per minute that the heart contracts or beats. While a normal heart rate does not
guarantee that a person is free of health problems, it is a useful benchmark for identifying a range of
health issues. (March - 2024)
