AP EAMCET2015MathematicsQuadratic Equation
If the harmonic mean of the roots 2 x^2-b x+(8-2 d )=0 is 4 , then the value of b is
Options
- A2
- B3
- C4- 5
- D4+ 5
Correct answer
C. 4- 5
Step-by-step solution
Given equation 2 x^2-b x+(8-2 5 )=0 Let the roots of the given equation are and . Sum of roots, + = -b a =- ( -b 2 )= b 2 and product of roots, = c a = 8-2 5 2 Now, as given in the question aligned & 2 + =4 2 ( 8-2 5 2 ) b 2 =4 & 2 ( 8-2 5 2 )=b b=4- 5 aligned
