Open in App
Solution

This equation is of the form ax2+bx+c=0

where , a=1, b=(2b1), c=(b2b20)

For an equation of the form ax2+bx+c=0

x=b±b24ac2a

Thus for this question, we get x=(2b1)±(2b1)24(1)(b2b20)2×1

x=(2b1)±(4b24b+1)(4b24b80)2

x=(2b1)±(4b24b+1)4b2+4b+80)2

x=(2b1)±4b24b+14b2+4b+80)2

x=(2b1)±812

x=(2b1)±92

x=2b1±92

x=2b1+92 or, x=2b192

x=2b+82 or, x=2b102

x=b+4 or, x=b5

Thus we get, x=b+4,b+5
