Question

A quadratic equation whose roots are 23\frac{-2}3​ and 32\frac{-3}2​ is:

A.

6x213x1=06x^2-13x-1=0​​

B.

6x213x+6=06x^2-13x+6=0​​

C.

6x2+13x+6=06x^2+13x+6=0​​

D.

6x2+13x+1=06x^2+13x+1=0​​

Correct option is C

Given:

Roots of quadratic equation  = 23 \frac{-2}3​ and  32\frac{-3}2 ​​

Concept Used: 

For a quadratic equation of the form:  ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 

Sum of the roots = α + β  =  ba-\frac{b}{a}​​

Product of the roots = α β  = ca\frac{c}{a}​​

Solution: 

the roots of the quadratic equation are α=23 \alpha = -\frac{2}{3}​ and β=32\beta = -\frac{3}{2}​  

sum of the roots: α+β=23+32=(49)6=136\alpha + \beta = \frac{-2}{3} + \frac{-3}{2} = \frac{(-4-9)}{6}= -\frac{13}{6} 

product of the roots:  αβ=23×32=66=1\alpha\cdot\beta = \frac{-2}{3} \times \frac{-3}{2} = \frac{6}{6} = 1

​​Now, using the standard form x2(α+β)x+αβ=0x^2 - (\alpha + \beta) x + \alpha \beta = 0 :

x2(136)x+1=0x^2 - \left( \frac{-13}{6} \right) x + 1 = 0 

x2+136x+1=0x^2 + \frac{13}{6}x + 1 = 0 

6x2+13x+6=06x^2 + 13x + 6 = 0 

​Thus, the quadratic equation whose roots are 23-\frac{2}{3} and 32-\frac{3}{2}​ is 6x2+13x+6=06x^2 + 13x + 6 = 0
