If AM and GM of roots of a quadratic equation are 8 and 5 respectively, then obtain the quadratic equation. |
|
Answer» Let the root of the quadratic equation be a and b. According to the given condition, ⇒ AM = a+b/2 = 8 ⇒ a + b = 16 …..(1) ⇒ GM = √ab = 5 = ab = 25 …(2) The quadratic equation is given by, x2 – x (Sum of roots) + (Product of roots) = 0 x2 – x (a + b) + (ab) = 0 x2 – 16x + 25 = 0 [Using (1) and (2)] Thus, the required quadratic equation is x2 – 16x + 25 = 0. |
