MCQ
A quadratic equation whose one root is $2$ and the sum of whose roots is zero, is:
- A$ x^2+a^4=0 $
- ✓$ x^2-4=0 $
- C$ 4 x^2-1=0 $
- D$ x^2-2=0$
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
$ x^2-4=0 $
Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of quadratic equation in such a way that $\alpha=2$
Then, according to question sum of the roots
$\alpha+\beta=0$
$2+\beta=0$
$\beta=-2$
And the product of the roots
$\alpha\cdot\beta=2\times(-2)$
$\alpha\cdot\beta=-4$
As we know that the quadratic equation
$\text{x}^2-(\alpha+\beta)\text{x}+\alpha\beta=0$
Putting the value of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in above
Therefore, the require be
$\text{x}^2-0\times\text{x}+(-4)=0$
$\text{x}^2-4=0$
Thus, the correct answer is $(b)$
Then, according to question sum of the roots
$\alpha+\beta=0$
$2+\beta=0$
$\beta=-2$
And the product of the roots
$\alpha\cdot\beta=2\times(-2)$
$\alpha\cdot\beta=-4$
As we know that the quadratic equation
$\text{x}^2-(\alpha+\beta)\text{x}+\alpha\beta=0$
Putting the value of $\alpha$ and $\beta$ in above
Therefore, the require be
$\text{x}^2-0\times\text{x}+(-4)=0$
$\text{x}^2-4=0$
Thus, the correct answer is $(b)$
