The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two statements regarding the roots of the quadratic equation \(6x^2 + 11x + 3 = 0\). ### Step 1: Find the roots of the quadratic equation. We start with the equation: \[ 6x^2 + 11x + 3 = 0 \] We can factor this equation. We look for two numbers that multiply to \(6 \cdot 3 = 18\) and add to \(11\). The numbers \(9\) and \(2\) satisfy this condition. Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ 6x^2 + 9x + 2x + 3 = 0 \] Now, we can factor by grouping: \[ (6x^2 + 9x) + (2x + 3) = 0 \] Factoring out common terms: \[ 3x(2x + 3) + 1(2x + 3) = 0 \] This gives us: \[ (2x + 3)(3x + 1) = 0 \] Setting each factor to zero, we find the roots: \[ 2x + 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{3}{2} \] \[ 3x + 1 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = -\frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 2: Identify alpha and beta. According to the problem, we have: \[ \alpha = -\frac{1}{3}, \quad \beta = -\frac{3}{2} \] Since \(\alpha > \beta\), this assignment is correct. ### Step 3: Check if \( \cos^{-1} \alpha \) exists. The domain of the function \( \cos^{-1} x \) is \([-1, 1]\). We check if \(\alpha = -\frac{1}{3}\) lies within this interval: \[ -1 \leq -\frac{1}{3} \leq 1 \] Since \(-\frac{1}{3}\) is within the domain, \( \cos^{-1} \alpha \) exists. ### Step 4: Check if \( \cot^{-1} \beta \) exists. The function \( \cot^{-1} x \) is defined for all real numbers \(x\). However, we need to check if \(\beta = -\frac{3}{2}\) is valid for the context of the problem. Since \(\cot^{-1} x\) is defined for all \(x\), it exists. However, the statement claims it does not exist, which may be misleading. ### Conclusion: - Statement I claims that \( \cos^{-1} \alpha \) exists (which is true) but \( \cot^{-1} \beta \) does not exist (which is false). - Statement II correctly states that the domain of \( \cos^{-1} x \) is \([-1, 1]\). Thus, the conclusion is that Statement I is false, while Statement II is true.
