If the different of the roots of x2−px+q=0 is unity, then
p2+4q=1
Given equation:x2−px+q=0 Also, α and β are the roots of the equation such that α−β = 1. sum of the roots = α+β = −Coefficient of xCoefficient of x2=−(−p1)=p Product of the roots = αβαβ=Constant termCoeffecient of x2=q∴(α+β)2−(α−β)2=4αβ⇒p2−1⇒p2−4q=1
