Roots of quadratic Q. α and β are the roots of the equation ax2+bx+c=0. What is the condition for which β=5α? A. 5b2=24ac B. 3b2=12ac C. 3b2=16ac D. 5b2=36ac Hint Use properties of roots. Answer D. 5b2=36ac Explanation For roots we know, α+β=−ba and αβ=ca and we know β=5α, substituting this in the above relations we get ⇒6α=−ba [∵ 5α+α=6α] 36α2=−b2a2………(i) ⇒αβ=ca 5α2=ca [∵ α×5β=5α2] α2=c5a………(ii) ⇒ combining (i) and (ii) we get, 36×c5a=b2a2 36ac=5b2 Avadh2023-09-22T11:26:19+05:30August 2, 2023| Share This Story, Choose Your Platform!
