If and are two double roots of x^2+3(a+3) x-9 a=0 for different values of ( ) . then the minimum value of x^2+ x- =0 is
Options
- A69 4
- B- 69 4
- C- 35 4
- D35 4
Correct answer
B. - 69 4
Step-by-step solution
For double roots D=b^2-4 a c=0 9(a+3)^2+36 a=0 a^2+10 a+9=0 (a+9)(a+1)=0 a=-1,-9 For a=-1 , equation becomes x^2+6 x+9=0 x=-3 For a=-9 equation becomes x^2-18 x+81=0 x=9 =9, =-3( ) Now, given equation becomes x^2+9 x+3=0 (x+ 9 2 )^2- 69 4 =0 We know that (x+ 9 2 )^2 0 (x+ 9 2 )^2- 69 4 - 69 4 Hence, minimum value = -69 4
