Question

If a quadratic polynomial y = ax2 + bx + c intersects x axis at a and β, then

A α + β = -b/a Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
B α + β = a/b Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
C α × β = a/c Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
D α/ β = 1 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

Solution

quadratic polynomial y = ax2 + bx + c We know that, if polynomial equation intersect at x axis, then y = 0 So, polynomial equation become ax2 + bx + c = 0 which is a quadratic equation. Also, given that it intersect x axis at α and β and we know that sum of roots = -b/a α + β = -b/a
