MCQ
The quadratic equation whose one root is $\frac{1}{{2 + \sqrt 5 }}$ will be
  • ${x^2} + 4x - 1 = 0$
  • B
    ${x^2} + 4x + 1 = 0$
  • C
    ${x^2} - 4x - 1 = 0$
  • D
    $\sqrt 2 {x^2} - 4x + 1 = 0$

Answer

Correct option: A.
${x^2} + 4x - 1 = 0$
a
(a) Let $\alpha = \frac{1}{{2 + \sqrt 5 }}$and $\beta = \frac{1}{{2 - \sqrt 5 }}$

Sum of roots $\alpha + \beta = - 4$ and product of roots $\alpha \beta = - 1$

Thus required equation is ${x^2} + 4x - 1 = 0$
