a,b,c are positive real numbers forming ...

`a,b,c` are positive real numbers forming a G.P. If `ax^2+2bx+c=0`and `x^2+2ex+f=0` have a common root, then prove that `d/a, e/b, f/c` are in A.P.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given,

`a, b, c` in G.P.

Geometric mean relation:

`b^2 = ac`

`b=sqrt(ac)`` \ \ \ (1)`

Quadratic equation is given:

`ax^2+2bx+c = 0`` \ \ \ (2)`

Put eq `(1)` in above equation
