To show that the roots of the equation \((a^{2}-bc)x^{2}+2(b^{2}-ac)x+c^{2}-ab=0\) are equal if either \(b=0\) or \(a^{3}+b^{3}+c^{3}-3acb=0\), we need to analyze the discriminant of the quadratic equation. The roots of a quadratic equation are equal when the discriminant is zero. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the coefficients**: The given quadratic equation can be written in the standard form \(Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0\), where: - \(A = a^2 - bc\) - \(B = 2(b^2 - ac)\) ...
