Question

if 2 is a root of the equation X square + bx + 12 equal to zero and the equation X square + bx + Q equal to zero has equal roots, then find the value of q

Answer 1

these is the perfect right ans..

Answer 2

SOLUTION :  

Option (c) is correct : 16

Given :  2 is the root of x² + bx + 12 = 0 ………..(1)

and x² + bx + q = 0 has equal roots………(2)

Since, x = 2  is a root of equation (1) so it will satisfy the equation.

On putting x = 2  in equation (1)

x² + bx + 12 = 0  

(2)² + 2b + 12 = 0

4 + 2b + 12 = 0

16 + 2b = 0

2b = - 16

b = -16/2  

b = - 8

On putting b = - 8  in equation (2)

x² + bx + q = 0

x² + (- 8)x + q = 0

x² - 8x + q = 0

On comparing the given equation with ax² + bx + c = 0  

Here, a = 1 , b = - 8 , c =  

D(discriminant) = b² – 4ac

D = (- 8)² - 4(1)(q)

D = 64 - 4q

D = 0 ( Equal  roots given)

64 - 4q = 0

64 = 4q

q = 64/4  

q = 16

Hence the value of q is 16 .
