The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two quadratic equations given and use the information provided about their roots. Let's break down the solution step by step. ### Step 1: Define the equations and their roots We have two quadratic equations: 1. \( x^2 - ax + b = 0 \) (Equation 1) 2. \( x^2 + px + q = 0 \) (Equation 2) Let the roots of Equation 1 be \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \), where \( \alpha \) is the common root with Equation 2. Since Equation 2 has equal roots, both roots of Equation 2 are \( \alpha \). ### Step 2: Use Vieta's formulas for Equation 1 From Vieta's formulas, we know: - The sum of the roots \( \alpha + \beta = a \) - The product of the roots \( \alpha \beta = b \) ### Step 3: Use Vieta's formulas for Equation 2 For Equation 2, since both roots are equal and equal to \( \alpha \): - The sum of the roots \( \alpha + \alpha = -p \) which simplifies to \( 2\alpha = -p \) or \( \alpha = -\frac{p}{2} \) - The product of the roots \( \alpha \cdot \alpha = q \) which gives \( \alpha^2 = q \) ### Step 4: Substitute \( \alpha \) into the expressions for \( b \) and \( q \) From the product of the roots of Equation 1, we have: \[ b = \alpha \beta \] From the sum of the roots of Equation 1, we can express \( \beta \) as: \[ \beta = a - \alpha \] Substituting \( \alpha = -\frac{p}{2} \) into the expression for \( \beta \): \[ \beta = a + \frac{p}{2} \] Now substituting \( \beta \) into the expression for \( b \): \[ b = \alpha \beta = \left(-\frac{p}{2}\right) \left(a + \frac{p}{2}\right) \] ### Step 5: Calculate \( b + q \) Now we need to find \( b + q \): \[ q = \alpha^2 = \left(-\frac{p}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{p^2}{4} \] Thus, \[ b + q = \left(-\frac{p}{2}\right) \left(a + \frac{p}{2}\right) + \frac{p^2}{4} \] Expanding \( b \): \[ b = -\frac{p}{2}a - \frac{p^2}{4} \] So, \[ b + q = -\frac{p}{2}a - \frac{p^2}{4} + \frac{p^2}{4} \] The \( \frac{p^2}{4} \) terms cancel out: \[ b + q = -\frac{p}{2}a \] ### Final Result Thus, the final result for \( b + q \) is: \[ b + q = -\frac{p}{2} a \]
