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

In a class test, the sum of marks obtained by P in Mathematics and Science is 28. Had he got 3 more marks in Mathematics and 4 marks less in Science, the product of marks obtained in the two subjects would have been 180? Find the marks obtained in two subjects separately.
Let the no. of marks obtained in Maths = x & no. of marks obtained in Science = 28-x It is given that (x+3)(28-x-4) = 180 (x+3)(24-x)=180 24x-x2+72-3x=180 x2-21x+108 = 0 x2-12x-9x+108=0 x(x-12)-9(x-12)=0 (x-9)(x-12)=0 therefore...
