If \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are the roots of the equation \(a x^{2}+b x+c=0\), then value of \(\frac{1}{a \alpha+b}+\frac{1}{a \beta+b}\) is :
Question and options
If and are the roots of the equation , then value of
is :
is :
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B - \(\frac{\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{ac}}\)
From a*alpha^2 + b*alpha + c = 0 we get a*alpha + b = -c/alpha, and likewise for beta. The sum = -(alpha+beta)/c = -(-b/a)/c = b/(ac).
