PRANPRABHYM

The Sutra can be taken as Purana - Apuranabhyam which means by the

completion or non - completion. Purana is well known in the present system. We
can see its application in solving the roots for general form of quadratic equation.
We

have
x2

:
+

ax2

(b/a)x

x2
completing
x2

i.e.,,

(b/a)x

(b/2a)]2

this

way

we

Now we apply purana to solve problems.

Example

1.

x3

6x2

11

Since
(x
+
2
)3
=
x3
+
6x2
+
12x
Add
(
x
+
2
)
to
both
We get x3 + 6x2 + 11x + 6 + x + 2 = x
i.e.,,
x3
+
6x2
+
12x
+
8
=
x
i.e.,,
(
x
+
2
)3
=
(
x
+
this is of the form y3 = y for y = x
solution
y
=
0,
y
=
1,
y
=
i.e.,,
x
+
2
=
which gives x = -2,-1,-3
Example

2:

x3

8x2

17x

We know ( x + 3 )3 = x3 +
So adding on the both sides, the term ( x 2 +
x3 + 8x2 + 17x + x2 + 10x + 17
i.e.,, x3 + 9x2 + 27x + 27 = x2 +
i.e.,, ( x + 3 )3 = ( x + 3 )2 +
y3
=
y2

for
y = 1, 2, -2.

9x2 + 27x +
10x + 17 ), we
= x 2 + 10x +
6x + 9 + 4x
4 ( x + 3 )
y
=

get

Hence
x
=
-2,
-1,
-5
Thus
purana
is
helpful
in
factorization.
Further purana can be applied in solving Biquadratic equations also.
