    Question

    If the two roots of a quadratic equation are α, β where α + β = 8 and α - β = 2, then the equations:

    A.


    B.


    C.


    D.

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Sum of roots α + β = 8
    Difference of roots α – β = 2
    Concept Used:
    In a quadratic equation of the form x2(α+β)x+αβ=0: x^2 - ( \alpha + \beta )x + \alpha \beta = 0:​​
    The sum of the roots α + β is the coefficient of x (with opposite sign).
    The product of the roots αβ is the constant term.
    Solution:
    α + β = 8………(1)
    α - β = 2 ………(2)
    from equation (1) and (2)
    α = 5, β =3
    as we know
    quadratic equation which two roots are given is
    x2x(sum of roots)+(product of roots)=0after putting the value of α and βx28x+15=0x^2 – x \text{(sum of roots)} + \text{(product of roots)}=0\\\text {after putting the value of α and β}\\x^2 – 8x +15 =0\\​​​
