If the equation `(1+m^2)x^2+2m c x+(c^2-a^2)=0` has equal roots, prove that `c^2=a^2(1+m^2)dot`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

We have,
`(1+m^(2))x^(2)+2mcx+(c^(2)-a^(2))=0`
It has equal roots, if D=0
`impliesB^(2)-4AC=0`
`implies(2mc)^(2)-4(1+m^(2))(c^(2)-a^(2))=0`
`implies4m^(2)c^(2)-4(c^(2)-a^(2)+m^(2)c^(2)-m^(2)a^(2))=0`
`impliesm^(2)c^(2)-c^(2)+a^(2)-m^(2)c^(2)+m^(2)a^(2)=0`
`impliesc^(2)=a^(2)+m^(2)a^(2)=a^(2)(1+m^(2))`
