The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of the roots of the quadratic equation \( ax^2 + 2bx + c = 0 \) given that \( a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}^+ \) and \( 2b = a + c \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rewrite the condition We start with the condition given in the problem: \[ 2b = a + c \] We can rearrange this to: \[ a - 2b + c = 0 \] ### Step 2: Substitute \( x = -1 \) We will substitute \( x = -1 \) into the quadratic equation: \[ a(-1)^2 + 2b(-1) + c = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ a - 2b + c = 0 \] From Step 1, we see that this condition holds true. ### Step 3: Identify one root Since substituting \( x = -1 \) satisfies the equation, we conclude that \( x = -1 \) is a root of the quadratic equation. ### Step 4: Use the product of roots Let the other root be \( \beta \). By Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots \( (-1 + \beta) \) is given by: \[ - \frac{2b}{a} \] Thus, we have: \[ -1 + \beta = -\frac{2b}{a} \] This leads to: \[ \beta = -\frac{2b}{a} + 1 \] ### Step 5: Calculate the product of roots The product of the roots is given by: \[ (-1) \cdot \beta = \frac{c}{a} \] Substituting for \( \beta \): \[ - \beta = -\left(-\frac{2b}{a} + 1\right) = \frac{2b}{a} - 1 \] Thus, we have: \[ \frac{2b}{a} - 1 = \frac{c}{a} \] Rearranging gives: \[ \frac{2b - c}{a} = 1 \] This means: \[ 2b - c = a \] ### Step 6: Analyze the nature of roots Since \( a, b, c \in \mathbb{R}^+ \), we know: - \( a > 0 \) - \( b > 0 \) - \( c > 0 \) From \( 2b = a + c \), we can see that \( 2b \) is the sum of two positive numbers \( a \) and \( c \), indicating that \( b \) is also positive. ### Conclusion Since we have established that one root is \( -1 \) and the other root \( \beta \) is derived from positive values, we conclude that both roots are real.
