Question : If $x^{4}+2x^{3}+ax^{2}+bx+9$ is a perfect square, where a and b are positive real numbers, then the value of $a$ and $b$ are:
Option 1: $a=5, b=6$
Option 2: $a=6, b=7$
Option 3: $a=7, b=7$
Option 4: $a=7, b=8$
Correct Answer: $a=6, b=7$
Solution : Given: $x^4+2x^3+ax^2+bx+9$ Solution: $x^{4}+2x^{3}+ax^{2}+bx+9$ Let the equation be $[(x-\alpha)(x-\beta)]^2$ So the roots are $\alpha$, $\alpha$, $\beta$, $\beta$ $\alpha+\alpha+\beta+\beta=-2$ (Sum of roots = – coefficient of $x^3$ divided by coefficient of $x^4$) $⇒\alpha+\beta=-1$ $\alpha \times \alpha \times \beta \times \beta=9$ (Product of roots = constant
