The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the equation given and determine the conditions under which the left-hand side is a perfect square. Then we will find the value of the specified expression. ### Step-by-Step Solution 1. **Understanding the Equation**: The equation given is: \[ a(b-c)x^2 + b(c-a)xy + c(a-b)y^2 = 0 \] For this quadratic equation in \(x\) and \(y\) to be a perfect square, the discriminant must be zero. 2. **Finding the Discriminant**: The discriminant \(D\) of a quadratic equation \(Ax^2 + Bxy + Cy^2 = 0\) is given by: \[ D = B^2 - 4AC \] Here, \(A = a(b-c)\), \(B = b(c-a)\), and \(C = c(a-b)\). Thus, \[ D = [b(c-a)]^2 - 4[a(b-c)][c(a-b)] \] 3. **Setting the Discriminant to Zero**: For the left-hand side to be a perfect square, we set the discriminant to zero: \[ [b(c-a)]^2 - 4[a(b-c)][c(a-b)] = 0 \] 4. **Expanding the Discriminant**: Expanding the terms: \[ b^2(c-a)^2 - 4ac(b-c)(a-b) = 0 \] 5. **Rearranging the Equation**: Rearranging gives us a relationship between \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\). After simplification, we find: \[ b^2(c-a)^2 = 4ac(b-c)(a-b) \] 6. **Finding the Value of the Expression**: We need to evaluate: \[ \left( \frac{\log(a+c) + \log(a-2b+c)^2}{\log(a-c)} \right)^2 \] Using properties of logarithms, we can rewrite this as: \[ \left( \log\left((a+c)(a-2b+c)^2\right) / \log(a-c) \right)^2 \] 7. **Substituting Values**: From the condition \(b = \frac{2ac}{a+c}\) (derived from the earlier steps), we can substitute \(b\) into the expression and simplify. 8. **Final Calculation**: After substituting and simplifying, we find: \[ \left( \frac{\log(a+c) + 2\log(a-2b+c)}{\log(a-c)} \right)^2 \] This leads us to evaluate the logarithmic terms based on the relationships established. 9. **Conclusion**: After simplification, we find that the value of the expression is a constant, which can be evaluated numerically if specific values for \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are provided.
