If the difference between the roots of a x^2+b x+c=0 is 1 , then which one of the following is correct?
Options
- Ab^2=a(a+4 c)
- Ba^2=b(b+4 c)
- Ca^2=c(a+4 c)
- Db^2=a(b+4 c)
Correct answer
A. b^2=a(a+4 c)
Step-by-step solution
aligned + & =-b / a & =c / a - & =1 ( + )^2-( - )^2 & =4 b^2 a^2 -1 & = 4 c a b^2-a^2 a^2 & = 4 c a b^2-a^2 & =4 a c b^2 & =a^2+4 a c & =a(a+4 c) . aligned
