If x4 + 2x3 + ax2 + bx + 9 is a perfect square, where a and b are positive real numbers, then the values of a and b are
a = 5, b = 6
a = 6, b = 7
a = 7, b = 6
a = 7, b = 6
C.
a = 7, b = 6
(a + b + c)2
= a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
= x4 + x2 + 9 + 2x3 + 6x + 6x2
= x4 + 2x3 + 7x2 + 6x + 9
On comparing with x4 + 2x3 + 7x2 + 6x + 9
a = 7, b = 6
The value of x which satisfies the equation
is
(a2 + b2 + c2)
- (a2 + b2 + c2)
(a2 + 2b2 + c2)
(a2 + 2b2 + c2)
