Question

If one root of the equation x² - 3x + q = 0 is twice the other. Then the value of q is

Answer 1

Answer:

q=2

Step-by-step explanation:

p(x) = x² - 3x + q = 0

Let α=2β

then,

α+β = -b/a

2β+β = -(-3)/1

3β = 3

β = 1

Now that we have found one root of p(x), we'll substitute in it.

p(x) = x² - 3x + q = 0

⇒ (1)² - 3(1) + q = 0

⇒ 1- 3 + q = 0

⇒ -2 + q = 0

∴ q = 2
