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\\​​​
