Given equation is: (c2–ab)x2– 2 (a2–bc)x+ (b2–ac) = 0 To prove: a= 0 ora3+b3+c3= 3abc Proof: From the given equation, we have a= (c2–ab) b= –2 (a2–bc) c= (b2–ac) It is being given that equation has real and equal roots ∴D= 0 ⇒b2– 4ac= 0 On substituting respective values ofa,bandcin above equation, we get [–2 (a2–bc)]2– 4 (c2–ab) (b2–ac) = 0 4 (a2–bc)2– 4 (c2b2–ac3–ab3+a2bc) = 0 4 (a4+b2c2– 2a2bc) – 4 (c2b2–ac3–ab3+a2bc) = 0 ⇒a4+b2c2– 2a2bc–b2c2+ac3+ab3–a2bc= 0 ⇒a4+ab3+ac3–3a2bc= 0 ⇒a[a3+b3+c3– 3abc] = 0 ⇒a= 0 ora3+b3+c3= 3abc read less

If m and n are odd positive integers, then m2 + n2 is even, but not divisible by 4. Justify.
Since m is odd positive integer then we can write m=2a+1 and n=2b+1, such that a,b >0 m2+n2=(2a+1)^2+(2b+1)^2 = 4a^2+1+4a+4b^2+1+4b = 4a^2+4b^2+4a+4b+2 = 2(2a^2+2b^2+2a+2b+1) Above eqn is divisible by 2 but not divisible by 4.
