prove that if the coefficient of x square and the constant term of an quadratic equation has opposite signs then the quadratic equation has real roots
Answers
Answer:
If the coefficient of x2 and the constant term of a quadratic equation have opposite signs, then the quadratic equation has real roots. (vi) If the coefficient of x2and the constant term have the same sign and if the coefficient of x term is zero, then the quadratic equation has no real ro

Answer:
Nature of roots of a quadratic equation is dermined by its determinant D which is given by
D = b^2 - 4ac
for real roots D must be greater than or equal to zero.
If coefficient of x^2 and constant term have opposite signs then
if a= a, c= -c or vice versa
then
D = b^2 - 4*a*(-c)
= b^2 + 4ac
now b^2 is always positive whether b is positive or not and 4ac is also positive because of opposite signs of a and c.
Hence, D >=0
and roots are real.
