Q61.If m is chosen in the quadratic equation (m2 + 1)x2 −3x + (m2 + 1)2 = 0 such that the sum of its roots is greatest, then the absolute difference of the cubes of its roots is: (1) 4√3 (2) 10√5 (3) 8√3 (4) 8√5

What This Question Tests

This question involves finding the value of 'm' that maximizes the sum of roots of a quadratic equation and then using that value to calculate the absolute difference of the cubes of its roots using algebraic identities.

Concepts Tested

Sum and product of rootsAlgebraic identities for cubesMaximization of a functionQuadratic equation properties

Formulas Used

α + β = -b/a

αβ = c/a

(α - β)² = (α + β)² - 4αβ

α³ - β³ = (α - β)((α + β)² - αβ)
