Let \(f(x)=x^2+a x+b\), where \(a, b \in R\). If \(f(x)=0\) has all its roots imaginary, then the roots of \(f(x)+f^{\prime}(x)+f^{\prime \prime}(x)=0\) are

  1. A real and distinct
  2. B imaginary
  3. C equal
  4. D rational and equal
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) imaginary

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, \(f(x)=x^2+a x+b\) has imaginary roots. \(\therefore\) Discriminant, \(D < 0 \Rightarrow a^2-4 b < 0\) Now, \(\begin{aligned} f^{\prime}(x) & =2 x+a \\ f^{\prime \prime}(x) & =2 \end{aligned}\)…
