The biquadratic equation, two of whose roots are , is
x4 - 4x3 + 5x2 - 2x - 2 = 0
x4 + 4x3 - 5x2 + 2x + 2 = 0
x4 + 4x3 - 5x2 + 2x - 2 = 0
x4 + 4x3 + 5x2 - 2x + 2 = 0
If the equations x2 + ax + b = 0 and x2 + bx + a = 0(a ± b) have a common root, then a + b is equal to
- 1

If 3 is a root of x2 + kx - 24 = 0. It is also a root of
C.
We have,
3 is the roots of x2 + kx - 24 = 0
Then, 9 + 3k - 24 = 0
3k = 15 ⇒ k = 5
Also, x2 - kx + 6 = 0
9 - 3x + 6 = 0 ⇒ k = 5
Thus 3 is also the root of x2 - kx + 6 = 0
