QJEEM19Ma82ab: JEE Main 2019 Mathematics - Class 11 JEEM19Ma82ab Solution: Let p, q R. If 2 - is a root of the quadratic equation, x 2 +…

Let p, q ∈\in R. If 2 - 3\sqrt 3 is a root of the quadratic equation, x2 + px + q = 0, then :

Multiple Choice Options

  • A p2 – 4q – 12 = 0
  • B q2 – 4p – 16 = 0
  • C q2 + 4p + 14 = 0
  • D p2 – 4q + 12 = 0

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

If a quadratic equation with rational coefficient has one irrational root then other root will be the conjugate of the irrational root.

Here x2 + px + q = 0 has one root 2 - 3\sqrt 3 .

∴\therefore Other root will be 2 + 3\sqrt 3 .

Sum of the roots = -p = 4

and product of the roots = q = 1

You can see p2 – 4q – 12 = 0 satisfy value of p = -4 and q = 1.
