Solution

SECTION -A

1. One zero of

x2 - x - (2 + 2k) is -4

(-4)2 - (-4) - (2 + 2k) = 0


16 + 4 - 2 - 2k = 0
18 - 2k = 0
-2k = -18
k = 9

13. To Prove is an irrational we will first prove is an irrational number.


Let if possible, is a rational number
p & q are co-prime integers.
Squaring both sides

3q2 = p2 .... (1)

p2 is divisible by 3

p is divisible by 3

If a prime number divides a2 then it also divides a ........ (A)


p = 3m ....... (2)
Substituting (2) in (1)

3q2 = (3m)2

3q2 = 9m2

q2 = 3m2

3 divides q2
3 divides q using A
q = 3n ..... (3)
2 & 3 3 divides both p and q which contradicts the fact that p and q are co-prime
Our assumption is false is an irrational number.
