If the root of the equation ax²+bx +c=0 are in the ratio m:n then
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
ax^2+bx+c=0ax
2
+bx+c=0
It is given that the roots of the equation ax²+bx+c=0 are in the ratio m:n.
Let the roots of given equation are mx and nx.
We know that the sum of roots is equal to -b/a and the product of roots is c/a.
mx+nx=b\Rightarrow x(m+n)=-\frac{b}{a}\Rightarrow x=-\frac{b}{a(m+n)}mx+nx=b⇒x(m+n)=−
a
b
⇒x=−
a(m+n)

....(1)
mx\times nx=\frac{c}{a}\Rightarrow mnx^2=\frac{c}{a}mx×nx=

Substitute the value of x from equation (1) in equation (2).
mn(-\frac{b}{a(m+n)})^2=\frac{c}{a}mn(−
a(m+n)
