- C36
- D96
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
-
Given quadratic equation
The roots satisfy
Using Vieta's formulas:
-
Use the given condition
We are told:
Now,
Since we get
\implies 9(\alpha^2+\beta^2)=15 \implies \alpha^2+\beta^2=\frac{5}{3}.$$ -
Find
We know
Substitute the values:
=(\alpha+\beta)^2+\frac{2}{3}.$$ Therefore, $$(\alpha+\beta)^2=\frac{5}{3}-\frac{2}{3}=1.$$ Hence, $$\alpha+\beta=\pm 1.$$ -
Find
Use the identity:
Let . Then and . So
Since ,
Thus,
Therefore,
-
Compute the required value
We need
-
Option check
corresponds to Option B.
