Determine the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations:

$3x^2 - 4\sqrt3x + 4 = 0$


Given:

Given quadratic equation is $3x^2 - 4\sqrt3x + 4 = 0$.


To do:

We have to determine the nature of the roots of the given quadratic equation.


Solution:

Comparing the given quadratic equation with the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$, we get,

$a=3, b=-4\sqrt3$ and $c=4$.

The discriminant of the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is $D=b^2-4ac$.

Therefore,

$D=(-4\sqrt3)^2-4(3)(4)=16(3)-12(4)$

$=48-48$

$=0$

As $D=0$, the given quadratic equation has real and equal roots.
