If the equation a(b−c)x2+b(c−a)x+c(a−b)=0\mathrm{a}(\mathrm{b}-\mathrm{c}) \mathrm{x}^2+\mathrm{b}(\mathrm{c}-\mathrm{a}) \mathrm{x}+\mathrm{c}(\mathrm{a}-\mathrm{b})=0 has equal roots, where a+c=15\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{c}=15 and b=365\mathrm{b}=\frac{36}{5}, then a2+c2a^2+c^2 is equal to

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

a(b−c)x2+b(c−a)x+c(a−b)=0x=1 is root ∴ other root is 1α+β=−b(c−a)a(b−c)=2⇒−bc+ab=2ab−2ac⇒2ac=ab+bc⇒2ac=b(a+c)⇒2ac=15b…(1)⇒2ac=15(365)=108⇒ac=54a+c=15a2+c2+2ac=225a2+c2=225−108=117\begin{aligned} & a(b-c) x^2+b(c-a) x+c(a-b)=0 \\ & x=1 \text{ is root } \therefore \text{ other root is } 1 \\ & \alpha+\beta=-\frac{b(c-a)}{a(b-c)}=2 \\ & \Rightarrow-\mathrm{bc}+\mathrm{ab}=2 \mathrm{ab}-2 \mathrm{ac} \\ & \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ac}=\mathrm{ab}+\mathrm{bc} \\ & \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ac}=\mathrm{b}(\mathrm{a}+\mathrm{c}) \\ & \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ac}=15 \mathrm{ b} \ldots(1) \\ & \Rightarrow 2 \mathrm{ac}=15\left(\frac{36}{5}\right)=108 \\ & \Rightarrow \mathrm{ac}=54 \\ & \mathrm{a}+\mathrm{c}=15 \\ & \mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{c}^2+2 \mathrm{ac}=225 \\ & \mathrm{a}^2+\mathrm{c}^2=225-108=117\end{aligned}
