Question

The equation a x to the power of 2 end exponent plus b x plus c equals 0. where a, b, c are the sides of a ΔABC, and the equation x to the power of 2 end exponent plus square root of 2 x plus 1 equals 0 have a common root. The measure of angle C is-

  1. 90º    
  2. 45º    
  3. 60º    
  4. none of these    

hintHint:

check the common roots of the two equations and find out the side ratios of the triangle.

The correct answer is: 45º


    45
    The quadratic equation x2+√2x + 1 has imaginary root as D= -2

    Imaginary roots are of the form a ± ib
    These roots occur in pair. Hence, both the roots have to be common in the two equations.
    Therefore,
    a/1= b/√2=c/1
    ratio of sides a:b:c = 1: √2:1
    hence they form a right angled isosceles triangle with <C = 45

    in a right angled isosceles triangle, ratio of sides = 1:√2:1
    base angles are = 45 degrees.
