Solution

Hi, here for the ax2+bx+c = 0 product of roots = αα-1×α+1α=caα+1α-1=causing componendo-dividendo rule α+1+α-1α+1-α+1=c+ac-aα1=c+ac-a or α=c+ac-aSo so αα-1=c+ac-ac+ac-a-1=c+ac-ac+a-c+ac-a=c+a2anow since αα-1=c+a2a is a root of ax2+bx+c = 0 so it will satisfy it ac+a2a2+bc+a2a+c = 0c+a24a+bc+a2a+c = 0c+a2+2bc+a+4ac=0add b2 both side b2+c+a2+2bc+a+4ac=b2b+a+c2+4ac=b2 Using x2+y2+2xy = x+y2a+b+c2= b2-4ac
