    This document discusses different types of equations that can be reduced to quadratic form through transformations: 1) Equations of the form a + bx + c = 0, which can be transformed into quadratic form by letting y = bx, resulting in equations like y2 + ay + c = 0. 2) Equations of the form pxa + qx + r = 0, which can be transformed into quadratic form by letting y = xa, resulting in equations like py2 + qy + r = 0. 3) Equations involving square roots of quadratic expressions, like √(ax2 + bx + c) + d = 0, which can be transformed into quadratic form by manipulating and

    SOLUTIONS OF EQUATIONS REDUCIBLE TO QUADRATIC FORM


    Equations which are not quadratic at a glance but can be reduced to quadratic equations by
    suitable transformations. Some of the common types are:

    A. + +b=0
    For example: a +b c = 0. Put = y. i.e., a +by c = 0

    Examples:
    1) Solve for y : 0
    0
    Put = x
    0
    ⟹ 0
    ⟹(x-1) (9x-20) = 0
    ⟹ x = 1 or x =
    ⟹ = 1 or y =
    ⟹ = ±1or =
    √
    ⟹ = ±1 and =

    2) Solve for x: 0
    0
    Let =y
    Then, 0
    ⟹ 0
    ⟹ (y + 1) (y – 27) = 0
    ⟹ y = - 1 or y = 27
    ⟹ = - 1 or = 27
    ⟹ x = - 1 or x = 3

    B. pxa + = r; Put xa =y i.e. py + =r OR py2 –ry + q = 0

    Examples:
    1) Solve 2x - 5
    2x - 5
    ⟹ 2 - 3 = 5x
    ⟹ (2x + 1) (x – 3) = 0
    ⟹ = - 1 or x = 3

    2) Solve for x : + = 10
    + 10 = 0
    ⟹ + 10 = 0

    Let = y ⟹ 9y + - 10 = 0
    ⟹ =0
    ⟹ (9y – 1 ) (y 1) = 0 ⟹ y = or y = 1
    When y = ⟹
    ⟹ x=0
    ∴ x = - 2, 0

    C. a( ) + b( )+c=0
    OR a( ) + b( )+c=0

    =( ) =( ) +2
    Put = y or = y to get a quadratic equation i.e., +by =0

    Examples:
    1) Solve for x : 2 ( ) -9( ) + 14 = 0

    Put =( ) -2
    2( )-9( ) + 14 = 0

    ⟹ 2[( ) ]-9( ) + 14 = 0
    Substitute
    ∴
    ⟹
    ⟹ (y – 2 ) (2y - 5) = 0
    ⟹ y = 2 or y =
    Since = 2 ⟹ - 2x + 1 = 0
    ⟹ =0 ⟹ x=1
    Also, y = ⟹
    ⟹ - 5x + 2 = 0
    ⟹ x = 2 or x =
    ∴ x= , 1, 2

    2) Solve 6 ( ) - 25 ( ) + 12 = 0

    Put =( ) + 2

    ∴ 6[( ) ] - 25 ( ) + 12 = 0
    Let =y
    ⟹
    ⟹ y= , y=

    Since y = and
    ∴ and x = - , x=3
    ⟹ x= and x = 2

    D. √ +√ =e
    Transform one of the radicals to RHS and square
    √ =e- √ , such equations may require squaring and your solution must satisfy
    ax + b ≥ 0 and cx + d ≥ 0

    Examples:
    1) Solve √ + x = 13
    √ + x = 13
    ⟹ √ = 13 – x
    Squaring both sides
    2x + 9 =
    ⟹ - 28x + 160 = 0
    ⟹ (x – 8) (x – 20) = 0
    ⟹ x = 8, x = 20
    NOTE Here we must have 2x+9 ≥ 0 Thus for x = 8, √ >0
    Also for x = 20, √ >0
    ∴ Both the values satisfy the condition.

    2) Solve √ - √ =3
    √ - √ =3
    ⟹ √ = 3 √
    Squaring both sides and simplifying, we get
    X+4= 6√
    Again squaring both sides,
    = 36(x – 4)
    ⟹ - 28x + 160 = 0
    ⟹ (x - 8) (x – 20) = 0
    ⟹ x = 8, x = 20
    Verification : 2x + 9 ≥ 0 and x – 4 ≥ 0
    ⟹ x ≥ and x ≥ 4
    Since the values x = 8 and 20 satisfy both these condition
    x = 8, x = 20
