The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two given quadratic equations and determine the relationship between their roots. ### Step 1: Write down the equations The two equations given are: 1. \((b - c)x^2 + (c - a)x + (a - b) = 0\) 2. \(a(b - c)x^2 + b(c - a)x + c(a - b) = 0\) ### Step 2: Find the sum of coefficients for both equations For the first equation, the sum of the coefficients is: \[ (b - c) + (c - a) + (a - b) = 0 \] For the second equation, the sum of the coefficients is: \[ a(b - c) + b(c - a) + c(a - b) = 0 \] ### Step 3: Determine if \(x = 1\) is a root Since the sum of the coefficients of both equations is zero, we can conclude that \(x = 1\) is a root of both equations. ### Step 4: Express the product of roots Let’s denote the roots of the first equation as \(\alpha\) and \(1\). The product of the roots of the first equation can be expressed as: \[ \alpha \cdot 1 = \frac{a - b}{b - c} \] Thus, \(\alpha = \frac{a - b}{b - c}\). For the second equation, let’s denote its roots as \(\beta\) and \(1\). The product of the roots of the second equation can be expressed as: \[ \beta \cdot 1 = \frac{c(a - b)}{a(b - c)} \] Thus, \(\beta = \frac{c(a - b)}{a(b - c)}\). ### Step 5: Compare \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) We have: \[ \alpha = \frac{a - b}{b - c} \] \[ \beta = \frac{c(a - b)}{a(b - c)} \] To check if \(\alpha\) can equal \(\beta\), we can set: \[ \frac{a - b}{b - c} = \frac{c(a - b)}{a(b - c)} \] Cross-multiplying gives: \[ (a - b) \cdot a(b - c) = (b - c) \cdot c(a - b) \] Since \(a\), \(b\), and \(c\) are distinct, we can conclude that \(\alpha \neq \beta\). ### Step 6: Conclusion Thus, we have established that both equations have rational roots, and they share exactly one common root, which is \(x = 1\).

To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two given quadratic equations and determine the relationship between their roots. ### Step 1: Write down the equations The two equations given are: 1. \((b - c)x^2 + (c - a)x + (a - b) = 0\) 2. \(a(b - c)x^2 + b(c - a)x + c(a - b) = 0\) ### Step 2: Find the sum of coefficients for both equations ...
