Solution
To find the value of ,
Let
Hence,
Now, has roots
So,
Hence, and
Now, solving
Alternative Solution: Sure, let's break this down. We know from Vieta's formulas that the sum of the roots $\alpha$ + $\beta$ is equal to $-p$ and the product of the roots $\alpha \cdot \beta$ is equal to $\frac{3p}{4}$. We also know that $|\alpha-\beta|=\sqrt{10}$. Squaring both sides, we get $(\alpha-\beta)^2=10$. Expanding this we get $\alpha^2 - 2\alpha\beta + \beta^2 = 10$. We can replace $\alpha^2 + \beta^2$ with $(\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta$ using the identity $\alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta$. So, we now have $(-p)^2 - 2*\frac{3p}{4} = 10$, which simplifies to $p^2 - \frac{3p}{2} - 10 = 0$. This is a quadratic equation in $p$, which can be solved to get the roots. Solving this gives $p = -2, 5$. So, the correct option is C) $\{-2, 5\}$.Asked in: JEE Main 2023 (12 Apr Shift 1)
