Write the quadratic equation whose roots are `5/2` and `8/3`. |
|
Answer» Sum of the roots `= 5/2 + 8/3 = 31/6`. Product of the roots `= 5/3(8/3) = 20/3`. The required equation is, `x^(2)` - (sum of the roots) x + (proudct of the roots) = 0 `rArr x^(2) - (31/6) x + (20)/(3) =0` `rArr 6x^(2) - 31x + 40 = 0` `:.` a quadratic equation with roots `5/2` and `83` is `6x^(2) - 31x + 40 = 0`. |
