If x=1 is a common root of the equation x^2 +px - 4=0 and x^2+x+q=0,then the value of pq is ____________.
Answers
Answer:
the value of pq = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
As given in the question that x = 1
EQUATION 1 : X∧2 + P(X) - 4 =0
Now , x = 1
( 1) ∧2 + p (1) -4 = 0
1 + p -4 = 0
p = 4 - 1
p = 3
SECOND EQUATION : x∧2 + x + q = 0
now x = 1
(1) ∧2 + (1) + q = 0
1 + 1 + q = 0
2+ q = 0
q = -2
thus the value of pq = 3 × -2
= -6
