The roots of the equation $x^{2} -3x-m( m+3) =0$, where m is a constant, are:
$( A) m, m+3$
$( B)-m, m+3$
$( C)m, -(m+3)$
$( D)-m,-(m+3)$

Academic Mathematics NCERT Class 10

Given: equation $x^{2} -3x-m( m+3) =0$

To do: To find out the roots of the given equation.

Solution:

$x^{2} -3x-m( m+3) =0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2} -( m+3) x+mx-m( m+3) =0$

$\Rightarrow x( x-( m+3)) +m( x-( m+3) =0$

$\Rightarrow ( x+m)( x-( m+3)) =0$

If $( x+m) =0$

$\Rightarrow x=-m$

If $x-( m+3) =0$

$\Rightarrow x=m+3$

$\therefore \ x=-m,m+3$

$\therefore$ Option $( A)$ is correct.
