The value of

a

for which one root of the quadratic equation

\left( {{a^2} - 5a + 3} \right){x^2} + \left( {3a - 1} \right)x + 2 = 0

is twice as large as the other, is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

\frac{2}{3}

Option A (

\frac{2}{3}

) is correct because it satisfies the condition where one root of the quadratic equation is twice the other, derived by relating the roots to the coefficients.

The solution of the equation

\log _7 \log _5(\sqrt{x+5}+\sqrt{x})=0

is If

\alpha ,\beta

are the roots of

{x^2} - 3x + a = 0,a \in R

and

\alpha < 1 < \beta ,

then If

\alpha ,\;\beta

be the roots of the equation

{x^2} - px + q = 0

and

{\alpha _1},{\beta _1}

be the roots of the equation

{x^2} - qx + p = 0,

then the equation whose roots are

\frac{1}{{{\alpha _1}\beta }} + \frac{1}{{\alpha {\beta _1}}}\mathrm{and}\;\frac{1}{{\alpha {\alpha _1}}} + \frac{1}{{\beta {\beta _1}}},

is If

{x^2} + 4ax + 2 > 0

for all values of

x

, then

a

lies in the interval If

f\left( x \right) = a{x^2} + bx + c\;

and

\;f\left( { - 1} \right) < 1,f\left( 1 \right) > - 1,f\left( 3 \right) < - 4\;

and

\;a \ne 0,

then Root(s) of the equation

9{x^2} - 18\left| x \right| + 5 = 0

belonging to the domain of definition of the function

f\left( x \right) = \log \left( {{x^2} - x - 2} \right)

is (are)
