Vedclass · Answer

(C) Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the roots of the equation $x^2 + px + q = 0$.From the properties of quadratic equations,we have $\alpha + \beta = -p$ and $\alpha \beta = q$.Given that the sum of the roots is three times their difference: $\alpha + \beta = 3(\alpha - \beta)$.Substituting $\alpha + \beta = -p$,we get $-p = 3(\alpha - \beta)$,which implies $\alpha - \beta = -\frac{p}{3}$.We know the identity $(\alpha - \beta)^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 4\alpha \beta$.Substituting the values,we get $(-\frac{p}{3})^2 = (-p)^2 - 4q$.$\frac{p^2}{9} = p^2 - 4q$.$4q = p^2 - \frac{p^2}{9} = \frac{8p^2}{9}$.$36q = 8p^2$,which simplifies to $2p^2 = 9q$.

If the sum of the roots of the equation $x^2 + px + q = 0$ is three times their difference,then which one of the following is true?
