Open in App
Solution

The given quadratic equation is x2 + Kx + 1 = 0comparing the given equation with standard equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get,a = 1, b = k, c = 1then,Sum of the roots = -ba = -k1 and Product of the roots = ca = 11 = 1i. When both roots are positive then, the sum of the roots is positiveSo, -k1 > 0 k1 < 0 k < 0k(-,0)ii.When both roots are negative then, the sum of the roots is negativeSo, -k1 < 0 k1 > 0 k > 0k(0,)
