If A.M. and G.M. of roots of a quadratic equation are 8 and 5, respectively, then obtain the quadratic equation.
Given: A.M. and G.M. of roots of a quadratic equation are 8 and 5, respectively.
Let a and b be the roots of the quadratic equation.
Here,
A.M = = 8
⇒ a+b = 16 —1
G.M = √ab = 5
⇒ (√ab)2 = 52
⇒ ab = 25 —2
The quadratic equation is given by,
x2– x (Sum of roots) + (Product of roots) = 0
x2 – x (a + b) + (ab) = 0
x2 – 16x + 25 = 0 (From eq –1 and eq –2)
∴ The required quadratic equation is x2 – 16x + 25 = 0
