Question

The quadratic equation whose one root is 3+53+\sqrt5​, is:

A.

x26x4=0x^2-6x-4=0​​

B.

x26x+4=0x^2-6x+4=0​​

C.

x2+6x+4=0x^2+6x+4=0​​

D.

x2+6x4=0x^2+6x-4=0​​

Correct option is B

Given:

One root of the quadratic equation is 3 + 5.\sqrt{5}.​​

Concept Used:
If one root of the quadratic equation is 3 +5+ \sqrt{5}​, the other root will be the conjugate, 353 - \sqrt{5}​,

because the roots of a quadratic equation with irrational numbers always occur in conjugate pairs.

Solution:
The quadratic equation with roots α and β is given by:

x2(α+β)x+αβ=0x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0​​

Let the roots be 3+53 + \sqrt{5}​ and 35.3 - \sqrt{5}.​​

Sum of roots =3+5+35=6 3 + \sqrt{5} + 3 - \sqrt{5} = 6​​

Product of the roots = (3+5)(35)=32(5)2=95=4(3 + \sqrt{5})(3 - \sqrt{5}) = 3^2 - (\sqrt{5})^2 = 9 - 5 = 4

The quadratic equation is:

x2(Sum of the roots)x+Product of the roots=0x^2 - (\text{Sum of the roots})x + \text{Product of the roots} = 0​​

x26x+4=0x^2 - 6x + 4 = 0
