Quadratic EquationEasy
Question
Let two numbers have arithmetic mean 9 and geometric mean 4. Then these numbers are the roots of the quadratic equation
Options
A.x2 + 18x + 16 = 0
B.x2 - 18x - 16 = 0
C.x2 + 18x - 16 = 0
D.x2 - 18x + 16 = 0
Solution
Let numbers be a, b ⇒ a + b = 18, √ab = 4 ⇒ ab = 16, a and b are roots of the equation
⇒ x2 - 18x + 16 = 0.
⇒ x2 - 18x + 16 = 0.
