The correct Answer is:
To determine the condition under which the quadratic equation \( az^2 + bz + c = 0 \) has one purely real root, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Roots**: A purely real root \( z_1 \) implies that \( z_1 \) is equal to its conjugate, i.e., \( z_1 = \overline{z_1} \). 2. **Substituting the Root into the Equation**: Since \( z_1 \) is a root of the equation, we substitute it into the quadratic equation: \[ az_1^2 + bz_1 + c = 0 \] 3. **Taking the Conjugate of the Equation**: Taking the conjugate of the entire equation gives: \[ \overline{az_1^2 + bz_1 + c} = 0 \] Since \( z_1 \) is real, we have: \[ \overline{a}z_1^2 + \overline{b}z_1 + \overline{c} = 0 \] 4. **Equating the Two Equations**: Now we have two equations: \[ az_1^2 + bz_1 + c = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] \[ \overline{a}z_1^2 + \overline{b}z_1 + \overline{c} = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] For the quadratic to have one purely real root, these two equations must be equivalent. 5. **Setting Up the Condition**: For the two equations to have the same root, the coefficients must satisfy certain conditions. Specifically, we can derive the condition by eliminating \( z_1 \) from the equations. 6. **Using the Discriminant**: The condition for the quadratic equation to have a double root (which is a purely real root in this case) is that the discriminant must be zero: \[ D = b^2 - 4ac = 0 \] However, since \( a, b, c \) are complex, we also need to consider their conjugates. 7. **Final Condition**: The condition for the quadratic equation \( az^2 + bz + c = 0 \) to have one purely real root is: \[ b^2 - 4ac = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad a, b, c \text{ must satisfy the conjugate conditions.} \]
