The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the roots of the equation \( ax^2 - bx(x-1) + c(x-1)^2 = 0 \) given that \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are the roots of the equation \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Start with the given equation**: \[ ax^2 - bx(x-1) + c(x-1)^2 = 0 \] 2. **Expand the terms**: - The term \( -bx(x-1) \) expands to \( -bx^2 + bx \). - The term \( c(x-1)^2 \) expands to \( c(x^2 - 2x + 1) = cx^2 - 2cx + c \). Thus, the equation becomes: \[ ax^2 - bx^2 + bx + cx^2 - 2cx + c = 0 \] 3. **Combine like terms**: - Combine the \( x^2 \) terms: \( (a - b + c)x^2 \). - Combine the \( x \) terms: \( (b - 2c)x \). - The constant term remains \( c \). Therefore, we rewrite the equation as: \[ (a - b + c)x^2 + (b - 2c)x + c = 0 \] 4. **Identify coefficients**: The coefficients of the new quadratic equation are: - Coefficient of \( x^2 \): \( A = a - b + c \) - Coefficient of \( x \): \( B = b - 2c \) - Constant term: \( C = c \) 5. **Use Vieta's formulas**: From Vieta's formulas, we know: - The sum of the roots \( P + Q = -\frac{B}{A} = -\frac{b - 2c}{a - b + c} \). - The product of the roots \( PQ = \frac{C}{A} = \frac{c}{a - b + c} \). 6. **Substituting values**: We know that: - \( \alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} \) - \( \alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a} \) We can express \( b \) and \( c \) in terms of \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \): - \( b = -a(\alpha + \beta) \) - \( c = a\alpha\beta \) 7. **Substituting back into the formulas**: Substitute these values into the expressions for \( P + Q \) and \( PQ \): - \( P + Q = -\frac{-a(\alpha + \beta) - 2a\alpha\beta}{a - (-a(\alpha + \beta)) + a\alpha\beta} \) - \( PQ = \frac{a\alpha\beta}{a - (-a(\alpha + \beta)) + a\alpha\beta} \) 8. **Simplifying the expressions**: After simplification, we find: - The roots of the new equation are: \[ P = \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha}, \quad Q = \frac{\beta}{1 + \beta} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the roots of the equation \( ax^2 - bx(x-1) + c(x-1)^2 = 0 \) are \( \frac{\alpha}{1 + \alpha} \) and \( \frac{\beta}{1 + \beta} \).
