Tamilnadu Samacheer Kalvi 11th Maths Solutions Chapter 2 Basic Algebra Ex 2.13

Choose the correct or the most suitable questions.

Question 1.
If |x + 2| ≤ 9, then x belongs to
(a) (-∞, -7)
(b) [-11, 7]
(c) (-∞, -7) ∪ [11, ∞)
(d)(-11, 7)
Solution:
(b) [-11, 7]
Hint:
-x – 2 ≤ 9 x + 2 ≤ 9
-x < 9 + 2 = 11 x ≤ 9 – 2 = 7
⇒ x ≥ -11
so x ∈ [-11, 7]

Solution:
(b) (2, ∞)

Question 6.

(a) 16
(b) 18
(c) 9
(d) 12
Solution:
(b) 18
Hint:

Question 7.

(a) -2
(b) -8
(c) -4
(d) -9
Solution:
(c) -4
Hint:

Question 8.

(a) 0.5
(b) 2.5
(c) 1.5
(d) 1.25
Solution:
(a) 0.5
Hint:

Question 9.

(a) 2
(b) 1
(c) 3
(d) 4
Solution:
(b) 1
Hint:

Question 10.
If 3 is the logarithm of 343, then the base is ……
(a) 5
(b) 7
(c) 6
(d) 9
Solution:
(b) 7
Hint.
⇒ log_x343 = 3 ⇒ 343 = x³
(.i.e.,) 7³ = x³ ⇒ x = 7
⇒ x = 7

Question 11.
Find a so that the sum and product of the roots of the equation 2x² + (a – 3)x + 3a – 5 = 0 are equal is ……..
(a) 1
(b) 2
(c) 0
(d) 4
Solution:
(b) 2
Hint:

Question 12.
If a and b are the roots of the equation x² – kx + 16 = 0 and satisfy a² + b² = 32, then the value of k is ……
(a) 10
(b) -8
(c) (-8, 8)
(d) 6
Solution:
(c) -8, 8
Hint:
a + b = k ….(1) ab = 16 ….(2)
a² + b² = (a + b)² – 2ab = 32 .
k² – 32 = 32 ⇒ k² = 64 ⇒ k = ±8

Question 13.
The number of solutions of x² + |x – 1| = 1 is ………
(a) 1
(b) 0
(c) 2
(d) 3
Solution:
(c) 2

We have two solutions 0, 1

Question 14.
The equations whose roots are numerically equal but opposite in sign to the roots of 3x² – 5x – 7 = 0 is ……
(a) 3x² – 5x – 7 = 0
(b) 3x² + 5x – 7 = 0
(c) 3x² – 5x + 7 = 0
(d) 3x² + x – 7 = 0
Solution:
(b) 3x² + 5x – 7 = 0
Hint:

Question 15.
If 8 and 2 are the roots of x² + ax + c = 0 and 3, 3 are the roots of x² + ax + b = 0, then the roots of the equation x² + ax + b = 0 are …….
(a) 1, 2
(b) -1, 1
(c) 9, 1
(d) -1, 2
Solution:
(c) 9, 1
Hint:
Sum = 8 + 2 = 10 = -a ⇒ a = -10
Product = 3 × 3 = 9 = b ⇒ b = 9
Now the equation x² + ax + b = 0
⇒ x² – 10x + 9 = 0
⇒ (x- 9) (x – 1) = 0
x = 1 or 9

Question 16.
If a and b are the real roots of the equation x² – kx + c = 0, then the distance
