Part 1 - Solving
1. (a) (x – 6)2 = 3
x–6=± 3
x=6± 3

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
2
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 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)
3. Let y = x2.
4x4 – 19x2 + 12 = 0
4y2 – 19y + 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
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
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
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.
