Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Roots of equation ax2 – 2bx + 5 = 0 are , .
+ =
2 =
= ....(1)
and 2 = ....(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
b2 = 5a
, are the roots of equation x2 – 2bx – 10 = 0
+ = 2b
and = -10
As is a root of the equation x2 – 2bx – 10 = 0.
2 - 2b - 10 = 0
=
= 20
= -10
= 5
= 20 + 5 = 25
+ =
2 =
= ....(1)
and 2 = ....(2)
From (1) and (2), we get
b2 = 5a
, are the roots of equation x2 – 2bx – 10 = 0
+ = 2b
and = -10
As is a root of the equation x2 – 2bx – 10 = 0.
2 - 2b - 10 = 0
=
= 20
= -10
= 5
= 20 + 5 = 25
