Question

for what value of ‘a' the roots of the equation x^2-2(a+1)x+3(7+10a)=0 be reciprocal to each other


pls dont give wrong answer.it is depending my future.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of complete quadratic equation is ax

2

+bx+c=0

(x+2)(2x−1)=0

2x

2

−x+4x−2=0

2x

2

+3x−2=0

Where, sum of the roots =

a

−b

Here, the given equation is 2x

2

+3x−2=0

So, the value of b=3,a=2

Sum of the roots =

2

−3

Reciprocal of the sum =

−3
