Question

Find the quadratic equation whose sum and product of roots are respectively \(\frac{2}{3}\) and 0.
Options
A \(3x^2 + 2x = 0\)
B \(3x^2 - 2x = 0\)
Correct Answer
C \(2x^2 - 3x = 0\)
D \(2x^2 + 3x = 0\)
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

A quadratic with sum (S) and product (P) is (x^2 - Sx + P = 0). Here (S = \frac{2}{3}), (P = 0). So (x^2 - \frac{2}{3}x = 0) (\Rightarrow 3x^2 - 2x = 0).

Hint

The quadratic is \(x^2 - (\text{sum})x + (\text{product}) = 0\).
