If and are the roots of the equation 2 x^2+6 x+k=0 , then the maximum value of [ + ] when k < 0 is
Options
- A0
- B1
- C-1
- D-2
Correct answer
D. -2
Step-by-step solution
Given, and are the roots of 2 x^2+6 x+k=0 + =- 6 2 =-3 and = k 2 Now, + = ^2+ ^2 = ( + )^2-2 + = 2(9-k) k = 18 k -2 k < 0 ( 18 k -2 ) < 0, k < 0 Thus, [ + ]_ = [ 18 k -2 ]= [ 18 k ]-2=-2 where, [ 18 k ]=0 for k < -18
