Correct answer: C

  1. Let q(x)=x2+bx+c.q(x)=x^2+bx+c.q(x)=x2+bx+c. Given that α,β\alpha,\betaα,β are distinct roots of q(x)=0q(x)=0q(x)=0, we have q(β)=β2+bβ+c=0.q(\beta)=\beta^2+b\beta+c=0.q(β)=β2+bβ+c=0.

  2. The required limit is L=lim⁡x→βe2q(x)−1−2q(x)(x−β)2.L=\lim_{x\to \beta}\frac{e^{2q(x)}-1-2q(x)}{(x-\beta)^2}.L=limx→β​(x−β)2e2q(x)−1−2q(x)​.

  3. Use the standard expansion near t=0t=0t=0: e2t=1+2t+(2t)22!+⋯=1+2t+2t2+⋯e^{2t}=1+2t+\frac{(2t)^2}{2!}+\cdots=1+2t+2t^2+\cdotse2t=1+2t+2!(2t)2​+⋯=1+2t+2t2+⋯ Hence, e2t−1−2t∼2t2(t→0).e^{2t}-1-2t \sim 2t^2 \quad (t\to 0).e2t−1−2t∼2t2(t→0).

Here, as x→βx\to\betax→β, q(x)→q(β)=0q(x)\to q(\beta)=0q(x)→q(β)=0, so with t=q(x)t=q(x)t=q(x), e2q(x)−1−2q(x)∼2(q(x))2.e^{2q(x)}-1-2q(x) \sim 2(q(x))^2.e2q(x)−1−2q(x)∼2(q(x))2. Therefore, L=lim⁡x→β2(q(x)x−β)2.L=\lim_{x\to\beta}2\left(\frac{q(x)}{x-\beta}\right)^2.L=limx→β​2(x−βq(x)​)2.

  1. Since β\betaβ is a root of q(x)q(x)q(x), q(x)=x2+bx+c=(x−α)(x−β).q(x)=x^2+bx+c=(x-\alpha)(x-\beta).q(x)=x2+bx+c=(x−α)(x−β). So, q(x)x−β=x−α.\frac{q(x)}{x-\beta}=x-\alpha.x−βq(x)​=x−α. Taking limit as x→βx\to\betax→β, lim⁡x→βq(x)x−β=β−α.\lim_{x\to\beta}\frac{q(x)}{x-\beta}=\beta-\alpha.limx→β​x−βq(x)​=β−α. Thus, L=2(β−α)2.L=2(\beta-\alpha)^2.L=2(β−α)2.

  2. Now express (β−α)2(\beta-\alpha)^2(β−α)2 in terms of b,cb,cb,c. For the quadratic x2+bx+c=0x^2+bx+c=0x2+bx+c=0, α+β=−b,αβ=c.\alpha+\beta=-b, \qquad \alpha\beta=c.α+β=−b,αβ=c. Hence, (β−α)2=(α+β)2−4αβ=b2−4c.(\beta-\alpha)^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-4\alpha\beta=b^2-4c.(β−α)2=(α+β)2−4αβ=b2−4c. Therefore, L=2(b2−4c).L=2(b^2-4c).L=2(b2−4c).

  3. Compare with the options:

  • A: b2+4cb^2+4cb2+4c
  • B: 2(b2+4c)2(b^2+4c)2(b2+4c)
  • C: 2(b2−4c)2(b^2-4c)2(b2−4c)
  • D: b2−4cb^2-4cb2−4c

So the correct option is C.\boxed{C}.C​.
