Prove that both the roots of the equation
(x - a)(x - b) + (x - 1)(x - c) + (x - c)(x - a) = 0
are real but they are equal only when a = b = c.

The given equation is (x-a) (x-b)+(x-b)(x c)+(x-c)(x-a)=0
By solving the equation, we get it as
3x²-2x(a+b+c 1+b+c)+(ab+bc+ca) = 0 The discriminant D=b²-4ac
This equation is in the form of ax² +bx+c=0 Here a=3,b=-2(a+b+c) and c = ab+bc+ca
D=(-2a+b+c)²-4(3)(ab+bc+ca)
4(a+b+c)²-12 (ab+bc+ca)
⇒4[(a+b+c)²³ −3(ab+bc+ca)]
-> 4[a²+ b³ + c²-ab-bc-ca]
⇒ 2[2a² +26² +2c²-2ab-2bc-2ca]
2[(a−b)²+(b-c)²+(c-a)²] Here clearly 0≥0, if 0=0 then (a-b)²+(b-c)²+(c-a)² = 0 a-b=0,b-c=0,c-α=0 Hence a = b = c
Hence, it is proved.
