Question

Solve the following quadratic equations by factorization:
$ax^2 + (4a^2 - 3b)x - 12ab = 0$

✓

Answer

We have,
$ax^2 + (4a^2 - 3b)x - 12ab = 0$
$[a \times 12ab = -12a^2b^2 = 4a^2 \times -3b]$
$\Rightarrow ax^2 + 4a^2x - 3bx + (4a \times (-3b)) = 0$
$\Rightarrow ax(x + 4a) - 3b(x + 4a) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (x + 4a)(ax - 3b) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (x + 4a) = 0 or (ax - 3b) = 0$
⇒ x = -4a or $\text{x}=\frac{3\text{b}}{\text{a}}$
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{3\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ and x = -4a are the two roots of the given equations.
