Question

If α and β are the roots of the equation 3x² + 8x + 2 = 0 then `(1/α + 1/β)` = ?

विकल्प

• `(-3)/8`

• `2/3`

• –4

• 4

Answer 1

–4

Explanation:

It is given that α and β are the roots of the equation 3x² + 8x + 2 = 0  

∴ `α + β = -8/3` and `αβ = 2/3` 

`1/α + 1/β = (α + β)/(αβ)`

= `(-8/3)/(2/3)`

= –4
