If α and β are the roots of the equation x 2 - 11x + 24 = 0, find the equation having the roots α + 2 and β + 2

x2 + 15x + 24 = 0
x2 - 15x + 24 = 0
x2 + 15x - 50 = 0
x2 + 15x - 60 = 0

Correct Answer:

Explanation:

Given equation is
x² - 11x + 24 = 0
Then, required equation is
(x - 2)² - 11(x - 2) + 24 = 0
⇒ x² - 4x + 4 - 11x + 22 + 24 = 0
⇒ x² - 15x + 50 = 0
