1.Relation and Function
hard
Let $f(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial such that $f(-2)$ $+f(3)=0$. If one of the roots of $f(x)=0$ is $-1$, then the sum of the roots of $f(x)=0$ is equal to
A
$\frac{11}{3}$
B
$\frac{7}{3}$
C
$\frac{13}{3}$
D
$\frac{14}{3}$
(JEE MAIN-2022)
Solution
$f (-2)+ f (3)=0$
$f ( x )=( x +1)( ax + b )$
$f (-2)+ f (3)=-1(-2 a + b )+4(3 a + b )=0$
$2 a – b +12 a +4 b =0$
$14 a +3 b =0$
$\frac{- b }{ a }=\frac{14}{3}$
Sum of roots $=\left(-1+\frac{-b}{a}\right)=-1+\frac{14}{3}=\frac{11}{3}$
