Find conditio...
Question
Find condition that the equation
x
2
−
a
x
+
b
=
0
and
x
2
+
b
x
−
a
=
0
have a common root.

Solution
Let the common root be
p
and the other roots are
q
,
r
⟹
p
+
q
=
a
,
p
+
r
=
−
b
p
q
=
b
,
p
r
=
−
a
q
r
=
−
b
a
⟹
q
=
−
b
a
r
and
q
−
r
=
a
+
b
⟹
−
b
a
r
−
r
=
a
+
b
⟹
−
r
(
a
+
b
a
)
=
(
a
+
b
)
⟹
r
=
−
a
⟹
q
=
b
⟹
p
=
a
−
q
=
a
−
b
substituting
q
in
x
2
−
a
x
+
b
=
0
b
2
−
a
b
+
b
=
0
⟹
b
=
0
or
a
=
