- Question
- Two candidates attempt to solved a quadratic equation of from x 2 + px + q = 0. One starts with a wrong value of p and finds the roots to be 2 and 6. Other starts with a wrong value of q and find the root to be 2 and -9. Find the correct roots and equation?
Options- A. -3, -2 and x x2 + 9x + 18
- B. 3, 4 and x2 + 8x + 15
- C. -3, -4 and x2 + 7x + 12
- D. 2, 6 and x2+ 7x + 12
- Correct Answer
- -3, -4 and x2 + 7x + 12
ExplanationWhen p is wrong i.e., -b/a = (? + ?) is wrong but c/a =(??) is correct.
Then ?? = c/a = 2 x 6 = 12 ....(i)
Again, when q is wrong i.e.,c/a = (?.? ) is wrong but -b/a = ?+? is correct.
Then, -b/a = ?+?= 2 + (-9) = -7
So, the required correct quadratic equations is
x2 -(? + ?)x + ?.?=0
? x2 - (-7)x + 12 = 0
? x2 + 7x + 12 = 0
and correct roots this equations are -3, -4. - 1. The median for the data 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14 is
