Roots of the equation x^2+b x-c=0(b, c 0) are
Options
- Aboth positive
- Bboth negative
- Cof opposite sign
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
C. of opposite sign
Step-by-step solution
We know that, if roots are of same sign Product of root is + ve if roots are of opposite sign Product of roots is -ve Here, x^2+b x-c=0 (b, c 0 ) Product of roots = -c 1 =- ve Roots are of opposite sign.
