The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \(\frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda}\) given the equations whose roots are defined in terms of \(\lambda\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Roots from the First Equation:** The first equation is: \[ x^2 - x + 2\lambda = 0 \] The roots of this equation are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\). According to Vieta's formulas, the product of the roots is given by: \[ \alpha \beta = 2\lambda \] 2. **Identify the Roots from the Second Equation:** The second equation is: \[ 3x^2 - 10x + 27\lambda = 0 \] The roots of this equation are \(\alpha\) and \(\gamma\). Again, using Vieta's formulas, the product of the roots is: \[ \alpha \gamma = \frac{27\lambda}{3} = 9\lambda \] 3. **Express \(\beta\) in Terms of \(\alpha\) and \(\lambda\):** From the first equation, we can express \(\beta\) as: \[ \beta = \frac{2\lambda}{\alpha} \] 4. **Express \(\gamma\) in Terms of \(\alpha\) and \(\lambda\):** From the second equation, we can express \(\gamma\) as: \[ \gamma = \frac{9\lambda}{\alpha} \] 5. **Calculate \(\beta \gamma\):** Now we can find \(\beta \gamma\): \[ \beta \gamma = \left(\frac{2\lambda}{\alpha}\right) \left(\frac{9\lambda}{\alpha}\right) = \frac{18\lambda^2}{\alpha^2} \] 6. **Find \(\frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda}\):** We need to find \(\frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda}\): \[ \frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda} = \frac{18\lambda^2/\alpha^2}{\lambda} = \frac{18\lambda}{\alpha^2} \] 7. **Substitute \(\lambda\) and \(\alpha\):** We need to find the value of \(\lambda\) first. To find \(\lambda\), we can substitute \(\alpha\) back into the equations. From the first equation, we can derive: \[ \alpha^2 - \alpha + 2\lambda = 0 \] and from the second equation: \[ 3\alpha^2 - 10\alpha + 27\lambda = 0 \] By substituting \(\lambda = \frac{1}{9}\) (as derived from the video), we can find \(\alpha\): \[ 3\alpha^2 - 10\alpha + 3 = 0 \] Solving this quadratic gives us \(\alpha = \frac{1}{3}\). 8. **Calculate \(\beta\) and \(\gamma\):** Now substituting \(\alpha = \frac{1}{3}\) back into the equations for \(\beta\) and \(\gamma\): \[ \beta = \frac{2 \cdot \frac{1}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}} = \frac{2}{3} \] \[ \gamma = \frac{9 \cdot \frac{1}{9}}{\frac{1}{3}} = 3 \] 9. **Final Calculation of \(\frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda}\):** Finally, substituting \(\beta\), \(\gamma\), and \(\lambda\) into \(\frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda}\): \[ \frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda} = \frac{\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)(3)}{\frac{1}{9}} = \frac{2}{1} \cdot 9 = 18 \] ### Final Answer: \[ \frac{\beta \gamma}{\lambda} = 18 \]
