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

  • question_answer
    The quadratic equation whose one root is \[2-\sqrt{3}\]will be  [RPET 1985]

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}-4x-1=0\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}-4x+1=0\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+4x-1=0\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}+4x+1=0\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Given that first root is\[2-\sqrt{3}\], so other root will be\[2+\sqrt{3}\]. Now the sum of roots is \[2-\sqrt{3}+2+\sqrt{3}=4\] and the product of roots \[(2+\sqrt{3})(2-\sqrt{3})=4-3=1\] Hence required equation is\[{{x}^{2}}-4x+1=0\].
