Misc 9 If a and b are the roots of x2 – 3x + p = 0 and c,d are roots of x2 – 12x + q = 0, where a, b, c, d, form a G.P. Prove that (q + p): (q – p) = 17:15. Introduction For quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 Product of roots = š‘/š‘Ž & sum of roots = (āˆ’š‘)/š‘Ž Misc 18 If a and b are the roots of x2 – 3x + p = 0 and c,d are roots of x2 – 12x + q = 0, where a, b, c, d, form a G.P. Prove that (q + p): (q – p) = 17:15. Introduction For quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 Product of roots = š‘/š‘Ž & sum of roots = (āˆ’š‘)/š‘Ž Misc 18 If a and b are the roots of x2 – 3x + p = 0 and c,d are roots of x2 – 12x + q = 0, where a, b, c, d, form a G.P. Prove that (q + p): (q – p) = 17:15. We know that a, ar , ar2 , ar3, …. 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‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) = 17/15 Taking L.H.S (š‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) Putting value of p = ab & q = cd from (2) & (4) = (š‘š‘‘ + š‘Žš‘)/(š‘š‘‘ āˆ’ š‘Žš‘) We know that a, ar , ar2 , ar3, …. 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‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) = 17/15 Taking L.H.S (š‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) Putting value of p = ab & q = cd from (2) & (4) = (š‘š‘‘ + š‘Žš‘)/(š‘š‘‘ āˆ’ š‘Žš‘) We know that a, ar , ar2 , ar3, …. 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‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) = 17/15 Taking L.H.S (š‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) Putting value of p = ab & q = cd from (2) & (4) = (š‘š‘‘ + š‘Žš‘)/(š‘š‘‘ āˆ’ š‘Žš‘) = (š‘š‘‘ + š‘Žš‘)/(š‘š‘‘ āˆ’ š‘Žš‘) Putting values b = ar , c = ar2 , d = ar3 = ((š‘Žš‘Ÿ^2 )(š‘Žš‘Ÿ^3 ) + š‘Ž(š‘Žš‘Ÿ))/((š‘Žš‘Ÿ^2 )(š‘Žš‘Ÿ^3 ) āˆ’ š‘Ž(š‘Žš‘Ÿ)) = (š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 + š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ)/(š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ) = (š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 + š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ)/(š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ) = (š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ(š‘Ÿ4 + 1))/(š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ(š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ 1 )) = (š‘Ÿ4 + 1 )/(š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ 1) So, (š‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) = (š‘Ÿ4 + 1 )/(š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ 1), we need to find r first. = (š‘š‘‘ + š‘Žš‘)/(š‘š‘‘ āˆ’ š‘Žš‘) Putting values b = ar , c = ar2 , d = ar3 = ((š‘Žš‘Ÿ^2 )(š‘Žš‘Ÿ^3 ) + š‘Ž(š‘Žš‘Ÿ))/((š‘Žš‘Ÿ^2 )(š‘Žš‘Ÿ^3 ) āˆ’ š‘Ž(š‘Žš‘Ÿ)) = (š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 + š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ)/(š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ) = (š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 + š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ)/(š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ) = (š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ(š‘Ÿ4 + 1))/(š‘Ž2š‘Ÿ(š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ 1 )) = (š‘Ÿ4 + 1 )/(š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ 1) So, (š‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) = (š‘Ÿ4 + 1 )/(š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ 1), we need to find r first. Now Dividing (1) & (3) (š‘Ž + š‘)/(š‘ + š‘‘) = 3/12 Putting values b = ar , c = ar2 , d = ar3 (š‘Ž + š‘Žš‘Ÿ)/(š‘Žš‘Ÿ2 +š‘Žš‘Ÿ3) = 3/12 (š‘Ž(1 + š‘Ÿ))/(š‘Žš‘Ÿ2(1 + š‘Ÿ)) = 3/12 1/š‘Ÿ2 = 3/12 1/š‘Ÿ2 = 1/4 r2 = 4 Now, (š‘ž + š‘)/(š‘ž āˆ’ š‘) = (š‘Ÿ4 + 1 )/(š‘Ÿ4 āˆ’ 1), Putting r2 = 4 = (4^2 + 1 )/(4^2 āˆ’ 1) = (16 + 1)/(16 āˆ’ 1) = (17 )/15 = R.H.S Thus, L.H.S = R.H.S Hence proved
