The quadratic equation whose roots are \(\sin ^2 18^{\circ}\) and \(\cos ^2 36^{\circ}\) is :

  1. A \(16 x^2-12 x+1=0\)
  2. B \(16 x^2+12 x+1=0\)
  3. C \(16 x^2-12 x-1=0\)
  4. D \(16 x^2+10 x+1=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(16 x^2-12 x+1=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since \(\sin ^2 18^{\circ}\) and \(\cos ^2 36^{\circ}\) are the roots of a quadratic equation. \(\therefore \text { Sum of roots }=\sin ^2 18^{\circ}+\cos ^2 36^{\circ}\) \(=\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4}\right)^2+\left(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}\right)^2\)…
