Let α\alpha and β\beta be the roots of the quadratic equation x2−2bx+c2=0x^2-2bx+c^2=0 where bb, cc are positive real numbers. Let AA be the arithmetic mean of α\alpha and β\beta; and GG be the geometric mean of α\alpha and β\beta. What are the roots of the quadratic equation x2−(b+c)x+bc=0x^2-(b+c)x+bc=0 ?

Options

  1. AA, GA,\ G
  2. B2A, G2A,\ G
  3. CA, 2GA,\ 2G
  4. D2A, 2G2A,\ 2G

Correct answer

A. A, GA,\ G

Step-by-step solution

Given the quadratic equation x2−2bx+c2=0x^2 - 2bx + c^2 = 0 with roots α\alpha and β\beta.

Sum of the roots is α+β=2b\alpha + \beta = 2b.

Product of the roots is αβ=c2\alpha \beta = c^2.

The arithmetic mean AA of α\alpha and β\beta is given by A=α+β2=2b2=bA = \dfrac{\alpha + \beta}{2} = \dfrac{2b}{2} = b.

The geometric mean GG of α\alpha and β\beta is given by G=αβ=c2=cG = \sqrt{\alpha \beta} = \sqrt{c^2} = c (since cc is a positive real number).

The second quadratic equation is x2−(b+c)x+bc=0x^2 - (b+c)x + bc = 0.

Factoring the equation, we get (x−b)(x−c)=0(x - b)(x - c) = 0.

The roots are x=bx = b and x=cx = c.

Substituting b=Ab = A and c=Gc = G, the roots are AA and GG.

Answer: A, GA,\ G
