Show that the roots of the equation `(a^(2)-bc)x^(2)+2(b^(2)-ac)x+c^(2)-ab=0`
are equal if either `b=0` or `a^(3)+b^(3)+c^(3)-3acb=0`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Since the roots are equal
`:.D=0`
`implies4(b^(2)-ac)^(2)-4(a^(2)-bc)(c^(2)-ab)=0`
`implies(b^(2)-ac)^(2)-(a^(2)-bc)(c^(2)-ab)=0`
`=b(a^(3)-b^(3)+c^(3)-3abc)=0`
`impliesb=0` or `a^(3)+b^(3)+c^(3)-3abc=0`
