Let z=α+iβ be one of the roots of the equation x2+bx+45=0,b∈R.
So, its other conjugate complex root will be z=α+iβˉ=α−iβ.
We know that for a quadratic equation Ax2+Bx+C=0, the sum and product of its roots are -\frac{B}{A}&\frac{C}{A} respectively.
So, the sum of roots of the given equation, (α+iβ)+(α−iβ)=−1b⇒2α=−b......(i).
Also, the product of roots of the given equation, (α+iβ)(α−iβ)=145⇒α2+β2=45......(ii).
Now, given that ∣z+1∣=210.
⇒∣α±iβ+1∣=210
⇒(α+1)2+β2=210
⇒(α+1)2+β2=40......(iii)
Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (iii), we get
(α+1)2−α2=−5
⇒(α+1+α)(α+1−α)=−5 [∵a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b)]
⇒2α+1=−5
⇒2α=−6
Comparing from equation (i), we get
b=6
∴b2−b=62−6=36−6=30.
Also, b2+b=62+6=36+6=42.
Hence, option (a) is correct.
