Question
in quadratic equation x2 +kx+1=0 find range of k for which both roots are positive and negative
Open in App
Solution
The
given
quadratic
equation
is
x
2
+
K
x
+
1
=
0
comparing
the
given
equation
with
standard
equation
a
x
2
+
b
x
+
c
=
0
,
we
get
,
a
=
1
,
b
=
k
,
c
=
1
then
,
Sum
of
the
roots
=
-
b
a
=
-
k
1
and
Product
of
the
roots
=
c
a
=
1
1
=
1
i
.
When
both
roots
are
positive
then
,
the
sum
of
the
roots
is
positive
So
,
-
k
1
>
0
⇒
k
1
<
0
⇒
k
<
0
⇒
k
∈
(
-
∞
,
0
)
ii
.
When
both
roots
are
negative
then
,
the
sum
of
the
roots
is
negative
So
,
-
k
1
<
0
⇒
k
1
>
0
⇒
k
>
0
⇒
k
∈
(
0
,
