If 2-i 3 where i= -1 is a root of the equation x^2+a x+b=0 , then what is the value of (a+b) ?
Options
- A-11
- B-3
- C0
- D3
Correct answer
D. 3
Step-by-step solution
If 2- 3 i is one root. 2+ 3 i is other root -a C = Sum of roots - a =2- 3 i+2+ 3 i=4 a=-4 and b= product of roots b=(2- 3 i)(2+ 3 i)=4+3=7a+b=-4+7=3
