AP EAMCET2016MathematicsQuadratic Equation
The product and sum of the roots of the equation |x^2 |-5|x|-24=0 are respectively
Options
- A-64,0
- B-24, 5
- C5, -24
- D0, 72
Correct answer
A. -64,0
Step-by-step solution
(a) We have, |x|^2-5|x|-24=0 aligned & (|x|-8)(|x|+3)=0 & |x|-8 or |x|=-3 is rejected. & |x|=8 & x= 8 aligned The roots of this equation. a x=8 and -8 . Hence, product of roots 8 (-8)=-64 and sum of roots =+8-8=0
