Misc 9 If a and b are the roots of x2 ā 3x + p = 0 and c,d are roots of x2 ā 12x + q = 0, where a, b, c, d, form a G.P. Prove that (q + p): (q ā p) = 17:15. Introduction For quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 Product of roots = š/š & sum of roots = (āš)/š Misc 18 If a and b are the roots of x2 ā 3x + p = 0 and c,d are roots of x2 ā 12x + q = 0, where a, b, c, d, form a G.P. Prove that (q + p): (q ā p) = 17:15. Introduction For quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 Product of roots = š/š & sum of roots = (āš)/š Misc 18 If a and b are the roots of x2 ā 3x + p = 0 and c,d are roots of x2 ā 12x + q = 0, where a, b, c, d, form a G.P. Prove that (q + p): (q ā p) = 17:15. We know that a, ar , ar2 , ar3, ā¦. are in G.P. with first term a & common ratio r Given a, b, c, d are in G.P. So, a = a b = ar c = ar2 d = ar3 We have to prove (š + š)/(š ā š) = 17/15 Taking L.H.S (š + š)/(š ā š) Putting value of p = ab & q = cd from (2) & (4) = (šš + šš)/(šš ā šš) We know that a, ar , ar2 , ar3, ā¦. are in G.P. with first term a & common ratio r Given a, b, c, d are in G.P. So, a = a b = ar c = ar2 d = ar3 We have to prove (š + š)/(š ā š) = 17/15 Taking L.H.S (š + š)/(š ā š) Putting value of p = ab & q = cd from (2) & (4) = (šš + šš)/(šš ā šš) We know that a, ar , ar2 , ar3, ā¦. are in G.P. with first term a & common ratio r Given a, b, c, d are in G.P. So, a = a b = ar c = ar2 d = ar3 We have to prove (š + š)/(š ā š) = 17/15 Taking L.H.S (š + š)/(š ā š) Putting value of p = ab & q = cd from (2) & (4) = (šš + šš)/(šš ā šš) = (šš + šš)/(šš ā šš) Putting values b = ar , c = ar2 , d = ar3 = ((šš^2 )(šš^3 ) + š(šš))/((šš^2 )(šš^3 ) ā š(šš)) = (š2š4 + š2š)/(š2š4 ā š2š) = (š2š4 + š2š)/(š2š4 ā š2š) = (š2š(š4 + 1))/(š2š(š4 ā 1 )) = (š4 + 1 )/(š4 ā 1) So, (š + š)/(š ā š) = (š4 + 1 )/(š4 ā 1), we need to find r first. = (šš + šš)/(šš ā šš) Putting values b = ar , c = ar2 , d = ar3 = ((šš^2 )(šš^3 ) + š(šš))/((šš^2 )(šš^3 ) ā š(šš)) = (š2š4 + š2š)/(š2š4 ā š2š) = (š2š4 + š2š)/(š2š4 ā š2š) = (š2š(š4 + 1))/(š2š(š4 ā 1 )) = (š4 + 1 )/(š4 ā 1) So, (š + š)/(š ā š) = (š4 + 1 )/(š4 ā 1), we need to find r first. Now Dividing (1) & (3) (š + š)/(š + š) = 3/12 Putting values b = ar , c = ar2 , d = ar3 (š + šš)/(šš2 +šš3) = 3/12 (š(1 + š))/(šš2(1 + š)) = 3/12 1/š2 = 3/12 1/š2 = 1/4 r2 = 4 Now, (š + š)/(š ā š) = (š4 + 1 )/(š4 ā 1), Putting r2 = 4 = (4^2 + 1 )/(4^2 ā 1) = (16 + 1)/(16 ā 1) = (17 )/15 = R.H.S Thus, L.H.S = R.H.S Hence proved
