Q1(v):
Check whether the following are quadratic equations : (v) $(2x – 1)(x – 3) = (x + 5)(x – 1)$
Solution :
Given: The equation $(2x - 1)(x - 3) = (x + 5)(x - 1)$.
To Find: Determine whether the given equation is a quadratic equation.
Definition: A quadratic equation in the variable $x$ is an equation of the form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, where $a, b, c$ are real numbers and $a \neq 0$.
Step 1: Expanding the Left-Hand Side (LHS)
The LHS is $(2x - 1)(x - 3)$. We apply the distributive property (FOIL method):
$(2x - 1)(x - 3) = 2x(x) + 2x(-3) - 1(x) - 1(-3)$
$= 2x^2 - 6x - x + 3$
$= 2x^2 - 7x + 3$ [Combining like terms $-6x$ and $-x$]
Step 2: Expanding the Right-Hand Side (RHS)
The RHS is $(x + 5)(x - 1)$. We apply the distributive property:
$(x + 5)(x - 1) = x(x) + x(-1) + 5(x) + 5(-1)$
$= x^2 - x + 5x - 5$
$= x^2 + 4x - 5$ [Combining like terms $-x$ and $5x$]
Step 3: Equating LHS and RHS and Simplifying
Now, set the expanded LHS equal to the expanded RHS:
$2x^2 - 7x + 3 = x^2 + 4x - 5$
To bring the equation into the standard form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$, subtract $(x^2 + 4x - 5)$ from both sides:
$2x^2 - x^2 - 7x - 4x + 3 + 5 = 0$
$x^2 - 11x + 8 = 0$
Step 4: Verification against the Standard Form
The resulting equation is $x^2 - 11x + 8 = 0$.
Comparing this with the standard form $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$:
Here, $a = 1$, $b = -11$, and $c = 8$.
Since $a = 1 \neq 0$, the equation satisfies the condition for being a quadratic equation.
Final Answer: Yes, the given equation $(2x - 1)(x - 3) = (x + 5)(x - 1)$ is a quadratic equation.

I am a freelance tutor at present. I taught in a coaching centre Vidyanext for students of CBSE & ICSE of classes IX & X for two years. I have teaching children of classes IX & X since last ten years online and also at my home. You can check my profile for the same. My teaching methodology would be to clear the concepts of the child, make the child practice and then test him on his concepts by giving worksheets. This methodology worked well even with dull students and almost all my students have scored and are scoring well in the board exams.
Swathi was very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend her for International students and domestic as well. I would definitely prefer her for my future Mathematical learning. Thanks
