Math Problem Statement

Given below are two statements: 1. Statement I: If the roots of a quadratic equation are 2 and 3, then the equation is x^2 - 5x - 6 = 0. 2. Statement II: If the roots of 4x^2 + 3kx + 9 = 0 are real and distinct, then k <= -4 or k >= 4. Choose the correct option: A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct B. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect C. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect D. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct

Solution

Let me analyze the question from the uploaded image.

Problem Details:

Given statements:

  1. Statement I: If the roots of a quadratic equation are 22 and 33, then the equation is x25x+6=0x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0.
  2. Statement II: If the roots of 4x2+3kx+9=04x^2 + 3kx + 9 = 0 are real and distinct, then k4 or k4k \leq -4 \text{ or } k \geq 4.

You need to determine the correctness of these statements.


Step-by-step Solution:

Statement I Verification:

  1. Roots of a quadratic equation are given as 22 and 33.
  2. A quadratic equation with roots pp and qq is given by: (xp)(xq)=0(x - p)(x - q) = 0 Substituting p=2p = 2 and q=3q = 3: (x2)(x3)=0x25x+6=0(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0 Hence, Statement I is correct.

Statement II Verification:

The quadratic equation is 4x2+3kx+9=04x^2 + 3kx + 9 = 0. For the roots to be real and distinct, the discriminant (Δ\Delta) must be positive: Δ=b24ac\Delta = b^2 - 4ac Here, a=4a = 4, b=3kb = 3k, and c=9c = 9. Substituting: Δ=(3k)24(4)(9)\Delta = (3k)^2 - 4(4)(9) Δ=9k2144\Delta = 9k^2 - 144 For real and distinct roots: Δ>09k2144>0\Delta > 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 9k^2 - 144 > 0 Simplify: 9k2>144k2>169k^2 > 144 \quad \Rightarrow \quad k^2 > 16 Taking the square root: k>4k<4 or k>4|k| > 4 \quad \Rightarrow \quad k < -4 \text{ or } k > 4 Hence, Statement II is correct.


Final Answer:

Both statements are correct.
The correct option is:

  • Option 1: Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
