3. (a) 2x(1 – x) = 5(x – 1)
2x(1 – x) = –5(1 – x)
2x(1 – x) + 5(1 – x) = 0
(1 – x)(2x + 5) = 0
1 – x = 0 or 2x + 5 = 0
x = 1 or x = –2.5

(b) 4x2 – 1 = (x + 2)(2x – 1)


(2x + 1)(2x – 1) = (x + 2)(2x – 1)
(2x + 1)(2x – 1) – (x + 2)(2x – 1) = 0
(2x – 1)(2x + 1 – x – 2) = 0
2x – 1 = 0 or x – 1 = 0
x = 0.5 or x = 1

4. (a) (x – 3)(x – 4) = (a – 3)(a – 4)


x2 – 7x + 12 = a2 – 7a + 12
x2 – a2 – 7x + 7a = 0
(x + a)(x – a) – 7(x – a) = 0
(x – a)(x + a – 7) = 0
x = a or x = 7 – a

(b) (x + 2)(x – 5) = (–2 – a)(5 – a)


x2 – 3x – 10 = a2 – 3a – 10
x2 – a2 – 3x + 3a = 0
(x + a)(x – a) – 3(x – a) = 0
(x – a)(x + a – 3) = 0
x = a or x = 3 – a

5. (a) Let y = x – 2.
(x – 2)2 + 2(x – 2) – 24 = 0
y2 + 2y – 24 = 0
(y + 6)(y – 4) = 0
y = –6 or y = 4
x – 2 = –6 or x – 2 = 4
Reminder:
x = –4 or x = 6

搵 x！唔係 y！
(b) Let y = 2x + 1.
4(2x + 1)2 – 15(2x + 1) = 4
4y2 – 15y = 4
(y – 4)(4y + 1) = 0
y = 4 or y = –0.25

Part 2 – Quadratic Formula

1. –x2 + 13x – 4 = 5x
x2 – 8x + 4 = 0

3. 4(3x – 6) = (2x – 4)(x + 7)


12x – 24 = 2x2 + 14x – 4x – 28
0 = 2x2 – 2x – 4
0 = x2 – x – 2

Part 3 – Special Case

1. x −3 = x – 9
x – 3 = (x – 9)2
x2 – 19x + 84 = 0
x = 12 or 7 (rej.)

2. 2x −1 − x − 4 = 2

(2x – 1) – 2 (2 x − 1)( x − 4) + (x – 4) = 4

3x – 9 = 2 (2 x − 1)( x − 4)

(3x – 9)2 = 4(2x – 1)(x – 4)


9x2 – 54x + 81 = 8x2 – 36x + 16
x2 – 18x + 65 = 0
x = 13 or 5

3. Let y = x2.
4x4 – 19x2 + 12 = 0

4. Let y = x2.
2x4 – 13x2 – 45 = 0
2y2 – 13y – 45 = 0
y = 9 or –2.5
x2 = 9 or –2.5 (rej.)
x = 3 or –3

Part 4 – Discriminant

1. Since the equation has one double real root,


∆=0
(–70)2 – 4(5k – 1)(25) = 0
4900 – 500k + 100 = 0
k = 10

2. 4x2 + 8x + 3 = k
4x2 + 8x + (3 – k) = 0
Since the equation has two distinct real roots,
∆>0
82 – 4(4)(3 – k) > 0
64 – 48 + 16k > 0
k > –1

3. 4x2 + 24x + 9 = kx2


(4 – k)x2 + 24x + 9 = 0
Since the equation has no real root,
∆<0
242 – 4(4 – k)(9) < 0
576 – 144 + 36k < 0
k < –12

4. (a) 4x2 – 8x + (3 – m) = 0
Since the equation has real roots,
∆≥0
82 – 4(4)(3 – m) ≥ 0
64 – 48 + 16m ≥ 0
m ≥ –1

(b) Minimum value of m = –1.


Thus, the equation is
4x2 – 8x + 4 = 0
x=1

6
5. kx2 + 13 = 3x2 + 4x
(k – 3)x2 – 4x + 13 = 0
Since the equation has two distinct real roots,
∆>0
42 – 4(k – 3)(13) > 0
16 – 52k + 156 > 0
43
k< ≈ 3.31
13
Since it is a quadratic equation, we also requires k – 3 ≠ 0 and thus k ≠ 3.
Thus, the greatest integral value of k is 2.
