if m and n are the roots of equation, x²-mx+n=0 then find value of m and n
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
x²-mx+n=0
m+n = -b/a = -(-m) /1 =m
n = 0
mn = c/a = n/1 = n
m = 1
m&n = 1,0
Given,
m and n are the roots of the equation: x²-mx+n=0.
To find,
The value of m and n.
Solution,
We can simply solve this mathematical problem using the following process:
Mathematically,
If alpha and beta are the two roots of a quadratic equation p(x) = ax^2 + bx + c, then;
the sum of the roots = (-b)/a
product of the roots = c/a
{Equation-1}
Now, according to the question and the given polynomial: p(x) = x²-mx+n,
the value of a = 1
value of b = (-m)
value of c = n
Now, according to the question and statement-1;
The sum of the roots of the given equation = (-b)/a
=> m + n = -(-m)/1 = m
=> m + n = m
=> n = 0
Also, the product of the roots = c/a
=> m×n = n/1 = n
=> m = 1
Hence, the value of m is 1 and the value of n is 0, respectively.
