Question

If one root of the equation ax2+bx+c=0 is equal to nth power of the other root, show that (anc)1n+1+(acn)1n+1+b=0

Open in App
Solution

Let the roots of the equation ax2+bx+c=0 be α,αn

Product of roots αn+1=ca

α=(ca)1n+1

Sum of roots α+αn=ba

(ca)1n+1+(ca)nn+1=ba

a(ca)1n+1+a(ca)nn+1+b=0

(anc)1n+1+(acn)1n+1+b=0
