If roots of the equation x^2 − 10cx − 11d = 0 are a, b and those of
x^2 − 10ax − 11b = 0 are c, d, then the value of
a + b + c + d is (a, b, c and d are distinct numbers)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Done half of the work , need help ahead
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I found ac , b+d
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\huge ac=121\]
\[\huge b+d = 9(a+c)\]
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
yeah so far looks good

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
also u can write
\[a^2-10ac-11d=0\]
and
\[c^2-10ac-11b=0\]
right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
How ?
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
because a and b are roots of that equation
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
ok??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh dude yes, then probably add them up and solve them

It did't strike me -_-
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
yeah add them up
\[a^2+c^2-20ac-11(b+d)=0\]
\[(a+c)^2-22*121-99(a+c)=0\]
so a+c=121 0r -22
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1210
-22 is not taken
OpenStudy (anonymous):
b+d we already know
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nice!

a+b+c+D = 1210
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
but for a+c=-22 im getting a=c so this value is not possible so
a+b+c+d=1210
ur correct ^_^
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Nice problem
All were variables and the answer was number surprising
Beauty of mathematics
