Let α, β be real and z be a complex number. If z2 + αz + β = 0 has two distinct roots on the line Re z = 1, then it is necessary that
-
β ∈(0, 1)
-
β ∈(-1, 0)
-
|β| = 1
-
β ∈ (1, ∞)
D.
β ∈ (1, ∞)
Let roots be p + iq and p - iq p, q ∈ R
root lie on line Re(z) = 1
⇒ p = 1
product of roots = p2 + q2 = β = 1 + q2
⇒ β∈ (1, ∞), (q ≠ 0, ∵ roots are distinct)
