To find the values of \( a \) for which the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 2(a-1)x + (2a+1) = 0 \) has positive roots, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given quadratic equation is in the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \). Here: - \( a = 1 \) - \( b = -2(a-1) = -2a + 2 \) - \( c = 2a + 1 \) ...
