An equation like ax2+ bx + c = 0 where a ≠ 0, which contains only one variable and '2' as its highest power is called a quadratic equation. There are two values of the variable in any quadratic equation. The roots of the equations are :

$$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b^2 -4ac}}{2a}$$

Quadratic equation are of two types

e.g. x2 = 9 or, x2 - 9 = 0
i.e. ax2 + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0, c = 0 )

e.g. x2 - 9x - 15 = 0
i.e. ax2 + bx + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0)

Either 4x = 0

∴ x = 0

Or, x - 4 = 0

∴ x = 4

Solution:

$$\frac{x^2+3}{2}$$ = 6

or, $$x^ 2 + 3$$ = 12

or, $$x^2$$ = 9

or, $$(x)^2$$ = (±3)2

∴ x = -5

Let, the three numbers be x, x + 1 and x + 2

Then, According to question,

$$x ^2$$ + $$(x+1)^2$$ + $$(x+2)^2$$ = 194

or, $$x ^2$$ + $$x ^2$$ + 2x + 1 + $$x ^2$$ + 4x + 4 = 194

or, 3$$x ^2$$ + 6x - 189 = 0

or, 3($$x ^2$$ + 2x - 63) = 0

or, ($$x ^2$$ + 2x - 63) = 0

or, $$x^2$$ + 9x - 7x - 63 = 0

∴ x = -9.

Therefore, the required numbers are 7, 7 + 1 , 7 + 2 = 7, 8, 9

Or, -9, -9 + 1, -9 + 2 = -9, -8, -7

Let, one of the odd number be x . Then, its consecutive odd number is ( x + 2)

According to question,

x ( x + 2) = 143

or, $$x^2$$ + 2x = 143

or, $$x ^ 2$$ + 2x - 143 = 0

or, $$x ^2$$ + 13x - 11x - 143 = 0

or, x ( x + 13) - 11( x + 13) = 0

or, ( x + 13) ( x - 11) = 0

Either,

x - 11 = 0

or, x = 11

Or, x + 13 =0

or, x = -13

Hence, the required number is 11 and 11 + 2 = 13

Let, one of the evennumber be x . Then, its consecutive evennumber is ( x + 2)

According to question,

x ( x + 2) = 168

or, $$x^2$$ + 2x = 168

or, $$x ^ 2$$ + 2x - 168 = 0

or, $$x ^2$$ + 14x - 12x - 168 = 0

or, x ( x + 14) - 12( x + 14) = 0

or, ( x + 14) ( x - 12) = 0

Either,

x - 12 = 0

or, x = 12

Or, x + 14 = 0

or, x = -14

Hence, the required number is 12 and 11 + 2 = 14

Let, one of the number be x . Then, its consecutive number is ( x + 1)

According to question,

x ( x + 1) =56

or, $$x^2$$ + x =56

or, $$x ^ 2$$ + x - 56= 0

or, $$x ^2$$ + 8x - 7x - 56= 0

or, x ( x + 8) - 7( x + 8) = 0

or, ( x + 8) ( x - 7) = 0

Either,

x - 7= 0

or, x =7

Or, x + 8=0

or, x = -8

Hence, the required number is 7 and 7 + 1=8

Let, the odd number be x and its consecutive odd number be ( x + 2).

According to question,

$$(x + 2) ^2$$ - $$x^2$$ = 24

or,$$x^2$$ + 4x + 4 -$$x^2$$ = 24

Hence, the required whole number is 13.

Let, the natural number be x

Then,

According to quesiton,

$$\frac {x ^2}{2}$$ - 5 = 45

or $$\frac {x ^2}{2}$$ = 45 + 5

or,$$\frac {x ^2}{2}$$= 50

or, $$x ^ 2$$ = 100

or, $$( x)^2$$ = $$(10)^2$$ [ Only (+10) is taken because the required number is a natural number]

or, x = 10

Hence, the requierd number is 10.

Let, the first number is x then the second number becomes (12 - x)

According to question,

x ( 12 - x) = 32

or, -$$x ^ 2$$ + 12x - 32 = 0

or, $$x ^ 2$$ - 12x + 32= 0

or, $$x ^ 2$$ - 8x - 4x + 32 = 0

or, x ( x - 8) - 4( x - 8 ) = 0

or, ( x - 4) ( x - 8) = 0

Either, x - 4 = 0

∴ x = 4

Or, x - 8 = 0

∴ x = 8

If first number is 4, the other number is 12 - 4 = 8

If first number is 8, the second number is 12 - 8 = 4
