Check whether the following are quadratic equations: (2x-1)(x-3)=(x+5)(x-1)


Open in App
Solution

Quadratic equation:

Quadratic equations are the polynomial equations of degree 2 in one variable of type ax2+bx+cwhere a,b,c,R anda0.

On expanding,

(2x-1)(x-3)=(x+5)(x-1)2x2-6x-1x+3=x2-1x+5x-52x2-7x+3=x2+4x-52x2-x2-7x-4x+3+5=01x2-11x+8=0

The above equation is in the form of ax2+bx+c=0, where a=1,b=-11 and c=8

Therefore, the given equation (2x-1)(x-3)=(x+5)(x-1) is a quadratic equation.
