- D
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: A
-
Let the common root be .
Since is a root of we have
-
Also, is a root of so
-
Now, the polynomial has discriminant
Hence its roots are non-real and conjugate.
-
Since , the polynomial also has real coefficients. If it has one non-real root in common with , then it must also have the conjugate root in common.
Therefore, both roots of are roots of .
-
Since both are quadratic equations, the second polynomial must be a constant multiple of the first: for some real constant .
Therefore,
-
Checking options:
- A: ✅
- B: ❌
- C: ❌
- D: ❌
So the correct answer is A.
