If `p , q , ra n ds` are real numbers such that `p r=2(q+s),` then show that at least one of the equations `x^2+p x+q=0` and `x^2+r x+s=0` has real roots.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have ` x^2+px+q=0`....(i)
` x^2+rx+s=0`....(ii)
Let D1​ and D2​ be the discriminants of equations (i) and (ii).
Then `D1​=b^2−4ac=p^2−4q `
