Question
Choose the correct answer for the following question.
Out of the following equations, find the equation having the sum of its roots –5.
Options
3x2 - 15x + 3 = 0
x2 - 5x + 3 = 0
x2 + 3x - 5 = 0
3x2 + 15x + 3 = 0
Solution
For the equation 3x2 + 15x + 3 = 0
\[\text{ Sum of roots } = \frac{- b}{a} = \frac{- 15}{3} = - 5\]
Hence, the correct answer is 3x2 + 15x + 3 = 0.
