Quadratic equations of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 is solved using the formula
OR
The equation b² - 4ac is called the discriminant and it is used as follows
To solve the equation and get two real roots: 2x² - x + 3k = 0
- b² - 4ac > 0
substituting the values gives
(-1)² - 4 * 2 * 3k > 0
1 - 24k > 0
1 > 24k
divide through by coefficient of k
k < 1/24
To solve the equation and get equal roots: 5x² - 2x + (2k − 1) = 0
- b² - 4ac = 0
substituting the values gives
(-2)² - 4 * 5 * (2k - 1) = 0
4 - 40k + 20 = 0
-40k = -24
divide through by coefficient of k
k = 3/5
To solve the equation and get real roots -x² + 3x + (k + 1) = 0
- b² - 4ac > 0
substituting the values gives
(3)² - 4 * -1 * (k+1) > 0
9 + 4k + 4> 0
4k > -13
divide through by coefficient of k
k > -3.25
To solve the equation and get no real solutions 3kx² - 3x + 2 = 0
- b² - 4ac < 0
substituting the values gives
(-3)² - 4 * 3k * 2 < 0
9 - 24k² > 0
9 > 24k²
divide through by coefficient of k²
k² < 24/9
k < ± 1.633

In the given diagram, the traingles USW and UTV are similar triangles and thus the following ratio equality applies to them.
..........(Equation 1)
Checking the diagram given, we see that:
VT=y, WS=22, VU=8, ST=x-2
WU=WV+VU=12+8=20
TU=5
SU=ST+TU=(x-2)+5=x+3
Thus, substituting the required values in (Equation 1) we get:
Now, as can be clearly seen, to find y we will use the first two ratios as:
In a similar manner, to find the value of x we can use the last two ratios:
After cross multiplication we get:
Which can be simplified as:
Thus,
Therefore, the required answer is:
x=9.5 and y=8.8
