parabola y=x^2+2x+L intersects line y=mx+n at points
question continues here!! parabola y=x^2+2x+L intersects line y=mx+n at points \[\left( \alpha,\gamma1 \right) and \left( \beta,\gamma2 \right). if \alpha + \beta=3 and \alpha \beta=-4 \] then m+n is?
Okay intersection points are found out by solving the equations of both the curves. So, firs try to solve both the curves.
That is put y = mx +n in equation of parabola.
i cant understand @vishweshshrimali5
Its okay
See: By solving the equations I mean, solve this: mx +n = x^2 + 2x + L
\[\large{x^2 + x(2-m) + (L-n) = 0}\]
Now since the solutions of x are \(\large{\alpha,\beta}\). Find out : (1) \(\large{\alpha+\beta}\) with the help of above equation. (2) \(\large{\alpha\beta}\) with the help of above equation.
Can you do this @dinisha ?
is \[\alpha + \beta = 2-m\] and \[\alpha \beta = L-n\]
See: in \(\large{\alpha + \beta = \cfrac{-(2-m)}{1}}\) \(\large{\alpha\beta}\) is correct.
Remember that : sum of roots was -b/a .
so -2 + m ?
Yes
But, you are already given \(\alpha+\beta,\alpha\beta\) in the question. So, with the help of those values find L and m.
how??
See: in the question \(\large{\alpha+\beta = 3}\) But, we obtained that: \(\large{\alpha+\beta = -2 + m}\) So, -2+m = 3 => m = 5
Similarly, find out L
here there are two unknows!! L-n=-4
Yeah sorry But, you now have one equation also.
one equation??
I meant L-n = -4
Are you sure there was L in the original question ?
I think that's "1" not "L".
Now, the equation (L-n =-4) will become, 1- n = -4 => n = 5 So, m = 5 and n = 5. Now, can you find m+n ?
Did you get it @dinisha ?
ohh yaa i got it thank you!!
