If the roots of the equation (c2 – ab)x2 – 2(a2 – bc)x + b2 – ac = 0 are real and equal prove that either a = 0 (or) a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
उत्तर
(c2 – ab)x2 – 2(a2 – bc)x + b2 – ac = 0
Here a = c2 – ab; b = – 2(a2 – bc); c = b2 – ac
Since the roots are real and equal
∆ = b2 – 4ac
[– 2(a2 – bc)]2 – 4(c2 – ab) (b2 – ac) = 0
4(a2 – bc)2 – 4[c2 b2 – ac3 – ab3 + a2bc] = 0
Divided by 4 we get
(a2 – bc)2 – [c2 b2 – ac3 – ab3 + a2bc] = 0
a4 + b2 c2 – 2a2 bc – c2b2 + ac3 + ab3 – a2bc = 0
a4 + ab3 + ac3 – 3a2bc = 0
= a(a3 + b3 + c3) = 3a2bc
a3 + b3 + c3 =
a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
Hence it is proved
