The roots of the equation `4x^2-2sqrt(5)x+1=0,a r e`

A

`sin36^0,sin18^0`

B

`sin18^0,cos36^0`

C

`sin36^0,cos18^0`

D

`cos18^0,cos36^0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`4x^2-2sqrt5x+1 = 0`
this is a quadratic equation, so its roots are,
`=> x= (-(-2sqrt5)+-sqrt((-2sqrt5)^2-4(4)(1)))/(2(4))`
`=>x = (2sqrt5+-sqrt4)/(8)`
`=>x= (sqrt5+-1)/4`
As `sin18^@ = (sqrt5-1)/4 and cos36^@ = (sqrt5+1)/4`
`=>x = sin18^@ and x = cos36^@`
So, option `(b)` is the correct option.
