JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Question Bank Relation between roots and coefficients

    If the sum of the roots of the equation \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] be equal to the sum of their squares, then

    A) \[a(a+b)=2bc\]

    B) \[c(a+c)=2ab\]

    C) \[b(a+b)=2ac\]

    D) \[b(a+b)=ac\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Let \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] be two roots of  \[a{{x}^{2}}+bx+c=0\] Then \[\alpha +\beta =-\frac{b}{a}\]and \[\alpha \beta =\frac{c}{a}\]   Þ  \[{{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}={{(\alpha +\beta )}^{2}}-2\alpha \beta =\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{a}^{2}}}-2\frac{c}{a}\] So under condition \[\alpha +\beta ={{a}^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}\] Þ  \[-\frac{b}{a}=\frac{{{b}^{2}}-2ac}{{{a}^{2}}}\]Þ \[b(a+b)=2ac\].
