Another Question based on Nature of roots
If the roots of the equation x^2 -2cx +ab =0 are real and unequal, then prove that the roots of x^2 -2(a+b)x +a^2 +b^2 +2c^2 =0 will be imaginary
there is an easy way and an hard way to do this
I got c^2 -ab >0
I'll give u the easy way first may be :)
yes
Easy way : \(c^2 -ab >0 \implies c^2 \gt ab\) \[ x^2 -2(a+b)x +a^2 +b^2 +2c^2 \gt x^2 -2(a+b)x +a^2 +b^2 +2ab \] \[ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ \gt x^2 -2(a+b)x +(a+b)^2 \] \[ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\gt (x-(a+b))^2 \] \[ ~ \gt 0 \] QED
don't give the hard way then Maybe i will figure it out later
Okay, the hard way is straight forward but will be painful and you wont learn anything from that method as all u do is just arithmetic and algebra manipulaiton
thank u !
yw
x2−2(a+b)x+a2+b2+2c2>x2−2(a+b)x+a2+b2+2ab Can u please explain the second step , I mean what u did here
I have just replaced c^2 wid ab
We have : \(\large c^2 \gt ab\) So, \(\large 2c^2 \gt 2ab\)
And the (x−(a+b))2 >0
used the identity : \(\large u^2 -2uv + v^2 = (u-v)^2\) \(u = x, \\ v = a+b\)
Not about that If it > 0 how it is proved
thats a very good question !
let me ask u a question first : How does the graph of a quadratic look when the roots are imaginary ?
