Question
Given that α and β are the roots of the equation 2x2+5x−1=0 ,find a quadratic equation with roots α+2 and β+2 .Please give 1 answer.2x2−3x−3=0 −2x2−3x−3=0 2x2+3x−3=0 2x2+3x+3=0
Solution
The roots of the given equation 2x^2 + 5x - 1 = 0 are α and β.
We are asked to find a quadratic equation with roots α+2 and β+2.
The sum of the roots of a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is given by -b/a and the product of the roots is given by c/a.
So, the sum of the roots α+2 and β+2 is (α+2) + (β+2) = α + β + 4.
The product of the roots α+2 and β+2 is (α+2)(β+2) = αβ + 2α + 2β + 4.
We know that α + β = -b/a = -5/2 and αβ = c/a = -1/2 from the given equation.
Substituting these values in, we get:
Sum of the roots = α + β + 4 = -5/2 + 4 = 3/2.
Product of the roots = αβ + 2α + 2β + 4 = -1/2 + 2(-5/2) + 4 = -3.
Therefore, the quadratic equation with roots α+2 and β+2 is given by:
x^2 - (sum of roots)x + product of roots = 0
=> x^2 - (3/2)x - 3 = 0
Multiplying through by 2 to clear the fraction gives:
2x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0
So, the quadratic equation with roots α+2 and β+2 is 2x^2 - 3x - 6 = 0.
