The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the roots of the equation \((x - \alpha)(x - \beta) + c = 0\), given that \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are the roots of the equation \((x - a)(x - b) = c\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation**: The original equation is \((x - a)(x - b) = c\). This can be rewritten as: \[ x^2 - (a + b)x + (ab - c) = 0 \] Here, the roots \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are given by Vieta's formulas: \(\alpha + \beta = a + b\) and \(\alpha \beta = ab - c\). 2. **Formulate the new equation**: We need to analyze the equation \((x - \alpha)(x - \beta) + c = 0\). Expanding this gives: \[ (x - \alpha)(x - \beta) = x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta \] Substituting the values from the previous step: \[ = x^2 - (a + b)x + (ab - c) \] Therefore, the equation becomes: \[ x^2 - (a + b)x + (ab - c) + c = 0 \] Simplifying this gives: \[ x^2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0 \] 3. **Identify the roots of the new equation**: The roots of the equation \(x^2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0\) can be found using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-(b) \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Here, \(a = 1\), \(b = -(a + b)\), and \(c = ab\). Thus, we have: \[ x = \frac{(a + b) \pm \sqrt{(a + b)^2 - 4 \cdot 1 \cdot ab}}{2 \cdot 1} \] Simplifying the discriminant: \[ (a + b)^2 - 4ab = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 - 4ab = a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a - b)^2 \] Therefore, the roots become: \[ x = \frac{(a + b) \pm |a - b|}{2} \] 4. **Final expression for the roots**: The two possible roots are: \[ x_1 = \frac{(a + b) + |a - b|}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad x_2 = \frac{(a + b) - |a - b|}{2} \] Depending on the values of \(a\) and \(b\), this can be simplified further to yield the specific roots. ### Conclusion: The roots of the equation \((x - \alpha)(x - \beta) + c = 0\) are given by: \[ x = \frac{(a + b) + |a - b|}{2} \quad \text{and} \quad x = \frac{(a + b) - |a - b|}{2} \]
