The number of values of the triplet (a, b, c) for which a 2 x+b ^2 x+c=0 is satisfied by all real x , is
Options
- A0
- B2
- C3
- Dinfinite
Correct answer
D. infinite
Step-by-step solution
a 2 x+b ^2 x+c=0 a (1-2 ^2 x )+b ^2 x+c=0 ie, (b-2 a) ^2 x+(a+c)=0 It is an identity, if b-2 a=0, a+c=0 , so a 1 = b 2 = c -1 Thus, number of triplet (a, b, c) are infinite.
