    If\[\alpha \]and\[\beta \]are the roots of the quadratic equation\[4{{x}^{2}}+3x+7=0,\]then the value of\[\frac{1}{\alpha }+\frac{1}{\beta }\]is:

    A)  \[-\frac{3}{4}\]                                

    B)  \[-\frac{3}{7}\]                

    C)                                                \[\frac{3}{7}\]                  

    D)                         \[\frac{4}{7}\]

    E)  \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[4{{x}^{2}}+3x+7=0\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}+\frac{3}{4}x+\frac{7}{4}=4\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\alpha +\beta =-\frac{3}{4},\alpha \beta =\frac{7}{4}\]                 \[\frac{1}{\alpha }+\frac{1}{\beta }=\frac{\alpha +\beta }{\alpha \beta }=-\frac{3}{7}\]
