Question

If \(x^2+px + q = 0\) is the quadratic equation whose roots are
\(a~– 2\) and \(b~– 2\) where \(a\) and \(b\) are the roots of \(x^2 - 3x + 1 = 0\), then

Open in App
Solution

\(a + b = 3, ab = 1\) and \(–p = a~– 2 + b~– 2, q = (a~– 2)(b~– 2)\)

\(\Rightarrow~–p = a + b~– 4, q = ab~– 2(a + b) + 4\)

\(\Rightarrow\) \(–p = 3~–~4\) and \(q = 1~– ~2(3) + 4\)
\(\Rightarrow (p, q) = (1, –1)\)
