Question

Let abpq Ïµ Q and suppose that f (x) = x2 + ax + b = 0 and g (x) = x3px + q = 0 have a common irrational root, then

Solution

Correct option is

f (x) divides g (x)

Let α Ïµ R – Q be a common root of f (x) = 0 and g (x) = 0. Then α2 = –aα – b. substituting this in a3 + pα + q = 0, we get

                      (a2 – b + p) α + ab + q = 0

As α is irrational and abpq Ïµ Qp = b – a2q = – ab. This gives, g(x) = (x – af (x).
