The correct Answer is:
To find the values of \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \) such that both roots of the equation \[ (3\lambda + 1)x^2 = (2\lambda + 3\mu)x - 3 \] are infinite, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Rearrange the equation First, we rearrange the equation to standard quadratic form: \[ (3\lambda + 1)x^2 - (2\lambda + 3\mu)x + 3 = 0 \] ### Step 2: Identify coefficients In the standard form \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \), we identify: - \( a = 3\lambda + 1 \) - \( b = -(2\lambda + 3\mu) \) - \( c = 3 \) ### Step 3: Condition for infinite roots For both roots to be infinite, the quadratic must have a discriminant equal to zero. The discriminant \( D \) is given by: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac \] Setting \( D = 0 \): \[ (-(2\lambda + 3\mu))^2 - 4(3\lambda + 1)(3) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the discriminant Expanding the discriminant: \[ (2\lambda + 3\mu)^2 - 12(3\lambda + 1) = 0 \] ### Step 5: Expand and rearrange Expanding the equation gives: \[ 4\lambda^2 + 12\lambda\mu + 9\mu^2 - 36\lambda - 12 = 0 \] ### Step 6: Set coefficients to zero For the quadratic to have infinite roots, we need the coefficients of the quadratic equation to be zero. Thus, we can set: 1. \( 3\lambda + 1 = 0 \) 2. \( 2\lambda + 3\mu = 0 \) ### Step 7: Solve for \( \lambda \) From the first equation: \[ 3\lambda + 1 = 0 \implies 3\lambda = -1 \implies \lambda = -\frac{1}{3} \] ### Step 8: Substitute \( \lambda \) into the second equation Now substitute \( \lambda = -\frac{1}{3} \) into the second equation: \[ 2\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) + 3\mu = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ -\frac{2}{3} + 3\mu = 0 \implies 3\mu = \frac{2}{3} \implies \mu = \frac{2}{9} \] ### Final Result Thus, the values of \( \lambda \) and \( \mu \) are: \[ \lambda = -\frac{1}{3}, \quad \mu = \frac{2}{9} \]
