Question

Consider two quadratic expressions f(x)=ax2+bx+c and g(x)=ax2+px+q (a,b,c,p,q \epsilon R, b≠p)such that their discriminents are equal. If f(x)=g(x) has a root x=a then.

Solution

The correct option is D

α will be A.M. of the roots of f(x) = 0 and g(x) = 0


a3+ba+c=a3+pa+q => α= qcbp

b24ac=p24aq

b2p2 = 4a(c-q)

b+p = 4a(cq)bp

b+p =-4aα

α= (b+p)4a which is A.M of the roots of f(x) and g(x) = 0
