Theory of Equations 1 Question 36

37. Let a>0,b>0 and c>0. Then, both the roots of the equation ax2+bx+c=0

(1979, 1M)

(a) are real and negative

(b) have negative real parts

(c) have positive real parts

(d) None of the above

Assertion and Reason

For the following question, choose the correct answer from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) defined as follows :

(a) Statement I is true, Statement II is also true; Statement II is the correct explanation of Statement I

(b) Statement I is true, Statement II is also true; Statement II is not the correct explanation of Statement I

(c) Statement I is true; Statement II is false

(d) Statement I is false; Statement II is true

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Since, a,b,c>0 and ax2+bx+c=0

x=b2a±b24ac2a

Case I When b24ac>0

x=b2ab24ac2a

and b2a+b24ac2a both roots, are negative.

Case II When b24ac=0

x=b2a, i.e. both roots are equal and negative

Case III When b24ac<0

x=b2a±i4acb22a

have negative real part.

From above discussion, both roots have negative real parts.
