Q50 / 160 · TS EAMCET 2021 (05 Aug Shift 1) · Mathematics

If x2-5x-14>0⇒x lie outside [α, β], then αβ=

  • Correct answer
    A
    -27
  • B
    -72
  • C
    27
  • D
    72

Solution

x2-5x-14>0

Figure

⇒x+2x-7>0

⇒x∈-∞,-2∪7,∞

As per question, the interval for which x lies outside is α,β

⇒α=-2, β=7

So, αβ=-27

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
