Let a, b R be such that the equation has a repeated root . If and are the roots of the equation , then is equal to :
- A37
- B58
- C68
- D92
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
- Since the equation has a repeated root , its discriminant must be zero.
So,
- For a quadratic with repeated root, the root is
Using , we get Thus,
- Also, since is a root of substitute : But because it is a repeated root, another standard relation is: Now using ,
Also from , this matches.
- Now consider the equation whose roots are and .
By Vieta's formulas,
Since is one root and from above , use product relation:
Now use sum relation: Multiply by :
Hence,
- Since ,
Therefore,
- Hence the correct option is which is option .
