If a,b,c ∈Q and p+√q (p,q ∈ Q) is an irrational root of ax+bx+c=0 then the other root is

Answer:
We have here a quadratic equation. When we find the roots of an equation such as this, we use the quadratic formula:
x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a
where a, b, and c are coefficients.
In this equation
a = a
b = -b
c = c
The plus/minus sign indicates that we will have two solutions. Suppose that root p was found using the plus and root q was found using the minus. We will have these roots.
p = (b + √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a and q = (b - √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a
Since we want to find the value of p + q, we simply add the formula.
p + q = ((b + √(b2 - 4ac)) + (b - √(b2 - 4ac))) / 2a
The square-root terms cancel each other out.
p + q = 2b / 2a
p + q = b / a
Hope this helps!
Answer:
For the quadratic equation ax
2
+bx+c=0,a,b,c,εQ
Roots are given by
α=
2a
−b+
b
2
−4ac
and
β=
2a
−b−
b
2
−4ac
If D=0 then α=
2a
−b
=β i.e. the roots are equal and real.
Since a,b and c∈Q, the roots will be equal and rational.
Hence, statements P and R are correct.
