(vi) √ 5 - √3
Sol. If one of the root of the quadratic equation is √ 5 - √3
,
then the other root is √ 5 + √3
Let α= √ 5 - √3 and β= √ 5 + √3
∴ α + β = √ 5 - √3 + √ 5 + √3 = 2√5
and α β = (√ 5 - √3 ) × (√ 5 + √3 )
= (√5)2 - (√3)2
= 5 - 3
= 2
We know that, Quadratic equation is given by,
x2 – (Sum of the roots)x + Product of the roots = 0
∴ x2 –( α + β)x + αβ = 0
∴ x2 – (2√5)x + (2) = 0
∴ x2 - 2√5x + 2 = 0
∴ The required quadratic equation is x2 - 2√5x - 2 = 0
