Question

If α and β are the roots of x2+px+q=0 and α4,β4 are the roots of x2rx+s=0, then the equation x24qx+2q2r=0, has always two real roots.

Solution

Form 1st we have α2+β2=p22q, and from 2nd
α4+β4=r(α2+β2)22α2β2=r(p22q)2=r(1)
x24qx+(2q2r)=0 ...(2)
Agian Δ for the above equation is
16q24(2q2r)=(8q2+4r) =8q2+4{(p22q2)2q2},by(1) =4(p22q)2
which is + ive . Hence the roots of (2) are real roots.
