The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the two quadratic equations given and find the conditions under which they have a common root. Let the common root be denoted as \( r \). ### Step 1: Set up the equations with the common root For the first equation \( x^2 + abx + c = 0 \): \[ r^2 + abr + c = 0 \quad \text{(1)} \] For the second equation \( x^2 + acx + b = 0 \): \[ r^2 + acr + b = 0 \quad \text{(2)} \] ### Step 2: Subtract the two equations Subtract equation (2) from equation (1): \[ (r^2 + abr + c) - (r^2 + acr + b) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ (ab - ac)r + (c - b) = 0 \] Rearranging gives: \[ (ab - ac)r = b - c \quad \text{(3)} \] ### Step 3: Analyze the implications From equation (3), we can express \( r \): \[ r = \frac{b - c}{ab - ac} \quad \text{(assuming } ab \neq ac\text{)} \] ### Step 4: Find the other roots of the equations Let the other root of the first equation be \( s_1 \) and the other root of the second equation be \( s_2 \). Using Vieta's formulas: - For the first equation: \[ r + s_1 = -ab \quad \Rightarrow \quad s_1 = -ab - r \quad \text{(4)} \] - For the second equation: \[ r + s_2 = -ac \quad \Rightarrow \quad s_2 = -ac - r \quad \text{(5)} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \( r \) into \( s_1 \) and \( s_2 \) Substituting equation (3) into equations (4) and (5): \[ s_1 = -ab - \frac{b - c}{ab - ac} \quad \text{(6)} \] \[ s_2 = -ac - \frac{b - c}{ab - ac} \quad \text{(7)} \] ### Step 6: Form the new quadratic equation The new quadratic equation whose roots are \( s_1 \) and \( s_2 \) can be formed using Vieta's formulas: \[ x^2 - (s_1 + s_2)x + s_1s_2 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Calculate \( s_1 + s_2 \) and \( s_1s_2 \) Calculating \( s_1 + s_2 \): \[ s_1 + s_2 = (-ab - r) + (-ac - r) = -ab - ac - 2r \] Substituting \( r \): \[ s_1 + s_2 = -ab - ac - 2\left(\frac{b - c}{ab - ac}\right) \] Calculating \( s_1s_2 \): Using the product of roots: \[ s_1s_2 = (-ab - r)(-ac - r) \] ### Step 8: Establish the final quadratic equation After calculating \( s_1 + s_2 \) and \( s_1s_2 \), we can write the final quadratic equation as: \[ x^2 - (s_1 + s_2)x + s_1s_2 = 0 \] ### Conclusion The other roots satisfy the equation: \[ x^2 - a(b+c)x + a^2bc = 0 \]
