The value of bb for which the equations x2+bx−1=0,x2+x+b=0x^2+b x-1=0, x^2+x+b=0 have one root in common is

Options

  1. A−2-\sqrt{2}
  2. B−i3-i \sqrt{3}
  3. Ci5i \sqrt{5}
  4. D2\sqrt{2}

Correct answer

B. −i3-i \sqrt{3}

Step-by-step solution

If a1x2+b1x+c1=0\quad a_1 x^2+b_1 x+c_1=0 and a2x2+b2x+c2=0a_2 x^2+b_2 x+c_2=0 have a common real root, then ⇒(a1c2−a2c1)2=(b1c2−b2c1)(a1b2−a2b1)\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow \quad\left( a_1 c_2-a_2 c_1\right)^2=\left( b_1 c_2-\right. & \left. b_2 c_1\right) \\ & \left( a_1 b_2-a_2 b_1\right) \end{aligned}\left.\therefore x2+bx−1=0x2+x+b=0\begin{array}{l}x^2+b x-1=0 \\ x^2+x+b=0\end{array}\right\}haveacommonroot.have a common root.\Rightarrow \quad(1+b)^2=\left(b^2+1\right)(1-b)\Rightarrow b^2+2 b+1=b^2-b^3+1-b\Rightarrow \quad b^3+3 b=0 \Rightarrow b\left(b^2+3\right)=0\Rightarrow \quad b=0, \pm \sqrt{3} i$
