Question based on Quadratics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

;)

OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):

good to see ur enjoying :)
