Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
Ans.
(i)
Sol. AB =
= 2
⇒
= 2
⇒ a = 
AC = 3 ⇒
= –3
⇒ b = 6a = 3
b 2 – 4ac = – 4
⇒ c = 13/2
∴ a + b + c = 10
(ii)
Sol. α = b +
= 3 + 
so other root is 3 – 
∴ equation will be x 2 – 6x + 2 = 0
(iii)
Sol. g (x) = x 2 + 5x – 6
g (– 4) = –10, g (0) = – 6
[g (x)] min. =
at x = –5/2
∴ Range of g (x) is
