The value of b for which the equations x^2+b x-1=0, x^2+x+b=0 have...
The value of for which the equations have one root in common is
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
B.
Step-by-step solution
If
and
have a common real root, then
\left.\therefore \right\}\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$
