Find the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 more than the roots of the equation x2 – 2x – 24 = 0.


1). x2 – 8x- 9 = 0
2). x2 – 8x – 16 = 0
3). x2 + 12x – 36 = 0
4). x2 – 6x + 16 = 0

The roots of the given quadratic equation x2 – 2x – 24 = 0 are 6 and -4.

∴ According to the given condition, the roots of the new equation are (6 + 3) and (-4 + 3) i.e. 9, -1

A quadratic equation in ‘x’ can be represented as

x2 – (sum of the roots) + Product of the roots = 0

∴ The required equation will be,

x2 – (9 – 1)x + 9 × -1 = 0

x2 – 8x - 9 = 0
