Read the following quadric equation carefully and answer the questions given below.
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
Note: Roots of the equation 1 are ‘x’ and ‘y’ and the roots of equation 2 are ‘x’ and ‘y – x’ .
Find the value of (d-8)y
Correct Answer :
256
256
Solution :
The correct answer is 256.
Let's solve the equations step-by-step to find the value of .
First, we are given two quadratic equations:
Equation 1:
The roots of Equation 1 are given as x and y. Using the relations between the roots and coefficients of a quadratic equation (sum of roots and product of roots):
Sum of roots:
--- (Equation 3)
Product of roots:
--- (Equation 4)
Equation 2:
The roots of Equation 2 are given as x and y - x. Using the relations between the roots and coefficients for Equation 2:
Sum of roots:
Simplifying this, we get:
--- (Equation 5)
Now, let's find the value of x by substituting into Equation 3:
With both x and y known, we can find the value of d using Equation 4:
Finally, we calculate the required expression :
