According to question ,we can say that
?. 4x + 7y = 209 ...............( 1 )
?. 12x ? 14y = ? 38 .................... ( 2 )
Multiplying (1) by (2):
8x + 14y = 418 ................(3)
Adding (2) and (3):
20x = 380 ? x = 19
Substituting the value of x in (1), we get
76 + 7y = 209
? 7y = 133 ? y = 19
From above equations it is clear that x = y is correct answer .
Given that :- sum of the roots = 6
And Product of two roots = -16
The required quadratic equation is x2 ? (sum of the roots) x + (product of the roots) = 0
? x2 - 6x - 16 = 0
On comparing it with ax2 + bx + c = 0 , we get a = 1, b = p, c = q
The roots of the equation x2 + px + q = 0 are equal if
b2 - 4ac = 0
? p2 - 4q = 0 ? p2 = 4q.
Thus , required answer is option B .
According to question ,
Let, the two consecutive odd positive integers be 2x + 1 and 2x + 3 where x is a whole number.
Now, ( 2x + 1 )2 + ( 2x + 3 )2 = 290
? 4x2 + 4x + 1 + 4x2 + 12x + 9 = 290
? 8x2 + 16x - 280 = 0
? x2 + 2x - 35 = 0
? ( x + 7 ) ( x - 5 ) = 0
? x = 7, - 5
But, x = ?7 is not possible, since ?7 is not a whole number .
? x = 5.
We get , 2x + 1 = 2 x 5 + 1 = 11 and 2x + 3 = 2 x 5 + 3 = 13
Thus , two consecutive positive odd integers are 11 and 13 .
