The coefficient of x in the quadratic equation x2+px+q=0 was taken as -14 in place of -10, its roots were found to be 6, 4. If α, β are the roots of correct equation, then the value of α2+β2 must be equal to
q = 24 [product of roots = 6 × 4]
p = -10(negative of Sum of the roots)
∴ The equation is x2−10x+24=0
The roots are 6, 4
∴ α2+β2=62+42
= 36 + 16
= 52
