Solution: 3
Given:
One root of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 is 5 + 3√3
Concept Used:
If one root of a quadratic equation is irrational then another root also be irrational
If one root of a quadratic equation is in the form (a + √b) then another root will be (a - √b)
If p and q be two roots of a quadratic equation then the equation of the quadratic equation will be (x - p)(x - q) = 0
Calculation:
Since one root of the equation is (5 + 3√3), an irrational, so another root will be (5 – 3√3)
The equation of the quadratic equation will be
[x – (5 + 3√3)] [x – (5 – 3√3)] = 0
⇒ x2 – 10x – 2 = 0 ----(1)
Comparing ax2 + bx + c = 0 with (1) get, a = 1, b = - 10 and c = - 2
Then, (a2 + b2 + c2)/(a + b + c) = (1 + 100 + 4)/(1 – 10 – 2) = (- 105/11)
∴ The required value of (a2 + b2 + c2)/(a + b + c) is (- 105/11).
