It is given that 1/x1 + 1/x2 =
2.
t has to be determined such that x^2 - (t-2)x + t +1 =
0
1/x1 + 1/x2 = 2
=>
(x1 + x2)/x1*x2 = 2
For a quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c
= 0 with roots x1 and x2,
c/a = x1*x2 and -b/a = x1 +
x2
Here the equation is x^2 - (t-2)x + t +1 =
0
=> (t - 2)/(t + 1) =
2
=> t - 2 = 2t +
2
=> t =
-4
The required value of t =
-4
