Q. Let p(x)=x²-5x+a and q(x)=x²-3x+b, where a and b are +ve integers. Suppose HCF [p(x),q(x)]=x-1 and k(x)=LCM [p(x),q(x)]. If the leading coefficient of the highest degree term of k(x) is 1, then sun of the roots of (x-1)+k(x) is

pls solve with proper soln​

Answer:

p(x)=x

−5x+a

q(x)=x

2

−3x+b

Given that HCF(p(x),q(x))=x−1, the other factors of p(x) and q(x) become (x−4) and (x−2) respectively.

∴p(x)=(x−1)(x−4)

q(x)=(x−1)(x−2)

⇒k(x)=LCM(p(x),q(x))=(x−1)(x−2)(x−4)

⇒(x−1)+k(x)=(x−1)+(x−1)(x−2)(x−4)

=(x−1)(x

−6x+8+1)

=(x−1)(x

−6x+9)

=x

+15x−9

So, by applying the relation between the coefficients and the roots , we get sum of roots=7.

Sum of roots is thus 7,
