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

  • question_answer
    The equation whose roots are \[\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}}\]and \[\frac{1}{3-\sqrt{2}}\] is [MP PET 1994]

    A) \[7{{x}^{2}}-6x+1=0\]

    B) \[6{{x}^{2}}-7x+1=0\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}-6x+7=0\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}-7x+6=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The required equation is \[{{x}^{2}}-\left( \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}}+\frac{1}{3-\sqrt{2}} \right)x+\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}}\times \frac{1}{3-\sqrt{2}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}-\left( \frac{6}{7} \right)x+\frac{1}{7}=0\Rightarrow 7{{x}^{2}}-6x+1=0\]
