If a and b are the roots of ax^2 + bx +c =0 (\[a \neq 0\] and a+d , b+d are the roots of Ax^2 + Bx + C =0 \[a \neq 0\] for some constant d , then prove that \[\frac{ b ^{2}- 4ac }{ a ^{2} } =\frac{ B ^{2} -4AC }{ A ^{2} }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will come back shortly after dinner sorry:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:) nice one lol all todday Qn have ratios xD

hartnn (hartnn):

-B/A = sum of roots = a+b+2d C/A = product of roots = (a+d)(b+d) you can use this

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

You may also express (b^2 - 4ac)/a^2 as (-b/a)^2 - 4(c/a)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Ax^2 + Bx + C = a(x-d)^2 + b(x-d) + c

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hartnn + shubam's hints give u fastest solution ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I will try doing it

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

I'll give u the donkey way of doing anyways cuz its kindof cool too :) Ax^2 + Bx + C = a(x-d)^2 + b(x-d) + c = ax^2 + (b-2ad)x + (ad^2-bd + c) B^2 - 4AC = (b-2ad)^2 - 4a(ad^2 - bd +c) = b^2 - 4ac QED.
