$${\text{If }}\left( {{n^r} - tn + \frac{1}{4}} \right)$$ be a perfect square, then the values of t are = ?
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
D
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{If }}\left( {{n^r} - tn + \frac{1}{4}} \right){\text{be a perfect square}} \cr
& r = 2t = \pm 1 \cr
& \left( {{\text{If }}t = 1} \right)\,\,{n^2} - n + \frac{1}{4} \cr
& = {n^2} - 2 \times n \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} \cr
& = {\left( {n - \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} \cr
& \left( {{\text{If }}t = - 1} \right)\,\,{n^2} + n + \frac{1}{4} \cr
& = {n^2} + 2 \times n \times \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} \cr
& = {\left( {n + \frac{1}{2}} \right)^2} \cr} $$
