Let and ( ) be the roots of the equation x ^2+ bx + c =0 , where b 0 and c 0 . Consider the following: 1. + + 0 2. ^2 + ^2 0 Which of the above is/are correct?
Options
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer
B. 2 only
Step-by-step solution
Sum of roots = + =-b Multiplication of roots = =c Hence aligned & + + =-b+c ^2 + ^2= ( + )=-b c & ~b 0 & c 0 & - b + c 0 & - bc 0 aligned
