Question
Determine the nature of roots of the following quadratic equation.
m2 + 2m + 9 = 0
Solution
m2 + 2m + 9 = 0
Comparing the given equation with the quadratic equation \[a x^2 + bx + c = 0\] \[a = 1, b = 2, c = 9\] Discriminant,
\[\bigtriangleup = b^2 - 4ac = \left( 2 \right)^2 - 4 \times 1 \times 9 = 4 - 36 = - 32\]
Since the discriminant < 0 so, the roots of the given quadratic equation are not real.

If a, b, care in continued proportion, then show that `(a + b)^2/(ab) = (b + c)^2/(bc)`.
Since a, b, c are in continued proportion
∴ `a/b = square/square` = k(say)
⇒ b = `square`, a = `square` = `square`.k = `square`.k2
Now, L.H.S. = `(a + b)^2/(a.square) = (square + square)^2/(square*square)`
= `(squarek^2(k + 1)^2)/(square*square)`
= `(k + 1)^2/square`
R.H.S. = `(b + c)^2/(b.square) = (square + square)^2/(square*square) = (square (k + 1)^2)/(square*square)`
= `(k + 1)^2/square`
L.H.S. = `square`
