Answer variants:
real and unequal roots
real and equal
no real root
Prove that the equation x^2(p^2 + q^2) + 2x(pr + qs) + r^2 + s^2 = 0 has no real roots. If ps = qr, then show that the roots are real and equal.
Answer:
Here, a = , b = , c =
\Delta = b^2 - 4ac =
Since \Delta = , the given equation has .
If ps = qr, then \Delta = .
Therefore, if ps = qr and so the roots will be .
Hence, we proved.
