LECTURE 7

1. Given equations are : x2  2 x  9  0 .... (i) and ax2  bx  c  0 .... (ii)

Clearly roots of equation (i) are imaginary since equation (i) and (ii) have a common root, therefore
common root must be imaginary and hence both roots will be common.
Therefore equations (i) and (ii) are identical  a  b  c  a : b : c  1 : 2:9

Let x  be a common factor of x2  11x  a and x2  14 x  2a
Then x   will satisfy the equations x2  11x  a  0 and x2 14 x  2a  0
  2 11  a  0 and  2 14  2a  0
Solving (i) and (ii) by cross multiplication method, we get a = 24.

x2   a  b  x  ab  0 or  x  a  x  b   0  x  a or b
If x = a is the root of other equation , a  a p  ab  0

 p  a  a  b
If x  b is the root of the other equation , then ab  pb  ab  0  p  a 1  b 

Given equation are x2  ax  b  0 ans x  px  q  0 . Let  be the common root. Then roots of

equation (2) will be  and  . Let  be the other root of equation (1). Thus roots of equation (1)
are a, b and those of equation (2) are   .

From (7) and (8),

Since cubic is divisible by both x2  ax  b and x2  bx  a and
 x2  ax  b and x2  bx  a must have a common roots
x2  bx  a  0 subtract from x2  ax  b  0
