Let α_ 1 , α_ 2 and β_ 1 , β_ 2 be the roots of a x^ 2 +b x+c=0 and...
Let and be the roots of and respectively. If the system of equations and has a non-trivial solution, then
Options
- A
- B
- C
- DNone of these
Correct answer
A.
Step-by-step solution
Since and are the roots of ax and respectively
therefore
\alpha_{1}+\alpha_{2}=and
Since the given system of equation has a non-trivial solution
\therefore\left|\right|=0\text{ i.e. } \alpha_{1} \beta_{2}-\alpha_{2} \beta_{1}=\quad \frac{\alpha_{1}}{\beta_{1}}=\frac{\alpha_{2}}{\beta_{2}}=\frac{\alpha_{1}+\alpha_{2}}{\beta_{1}+\beta_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\alpha_{1} \alpha_{2}}{\beta_{1} \beta_{2}}}\Rightarrow \frac{\mathrm{pb}}{\mathrm{qa}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{pc}}{\mathrm{ra}}} \Rightarrow \frac{\mathrmb^{2}}{\mathrmq^{2}}=\frac{\mathrm{ac}}{\mathrm{pr}}
