$\alpha =$ $\frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{-1 + \sqrt{1 - 4 \times (-1) \times (-2)} }{2 \times (-1)}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{-1 - \sqrt{-1 - 4 \times (-1) \times (-1)} }{2 \times (-1)}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{-1 + \sqrt{-7} }{-2}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{-1 - \sqrt{-7} }{-2}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{-1 + \sqrt{7} i }{-2}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{-1 - \sqrt{7} i }{-2}$

Hence the roots of the equation are $\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{7} i }{-2}$ or $\frac{1 \mp \sqrt{7} i }{2}$

Question 26: $x^2 - 2 x +$ $\frac{3}{2}$ $= 0$

$x^2 - 2 x +$ $\frac{3}{2}$ $= 0$

Comparing the given equation with general form of quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ we get,

$\Rightarrow a = 1, \ b= -2 \text{ and } c = \frac{3}{2}$

Substituting these values in

$\alpha =$ $\frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{2 + \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4 \times 1 \times (\frac{3}{2})} }{2 \times 1}$  and $\frac{2 - \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4 \times 1 \times (\frac{3}{2})} }{2 \times 1}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{2 + \sqrt{-2} }{2}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{2 - \sqrt{-2} }{2}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{2 + \sqrt{2} i }{2}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{2 - \sqrt{2} i }{2}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $1 +$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $i$ and $1 -$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $i$

Hence the roots of the equation are $1 +$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $i$ and $1 -$ $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$ $i$

Question 27: $3x^2 - 4x +$ $\frac{20}{3}$ $= 0$

$3x^2 - 4x +$ $\frac{20}{3}$ $= 0$

Comparing the given equation with general form of quadratic equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ we get,

$\Rightarrow a = 3, \ b= -4 \text{ and } c = \frac{20}{3}$

Substituting these values in

$\alpha =$ $\frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{4 + \sqrt{16 - 4 \times 3 \times \frac{20}{3} } }{2 \times 3}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{4 - \sqrt{16 - 4 \times 3 \times \frac{20}{3}} }{2 \times 3}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{4 + \sqrt{-64} }{6}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{4 - \sqrt{-64} }{6}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{4 + 8 i }{6}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{4 - 8i }{6}$

$\Rightarrow \alpha =$ $\frac{2 + 4 i }{3}$  and  $\beta =$ $\frac{2 - 4i }{3}$

Hence the roots of the equation are $\beta =$ $\frac{2 \pm 4i }{3}$
