If the sum of the roots of the equation


Asked by admin @ in Math viewed by 293 People


If the sum of the roots of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 is equal to the sum of the squares of their reciprocals then b2/ac + bc/a2 is equal to

Answered by admin @



Let P and Q are roots of eqn

P + Q = -b/a

PQ = c/a

a/c to question,

P + Q = 1/P² + 1/Q²

-b/a ={ ( P + Q)²-2PQ }/P²Q²

-b/a = { b²/a² -2c/a)/(c/a)²

-b×c²/a³ = b²/a² -2c/a

2c/a = b²/a² + bc²/a³ = b( ab + c²)/a³

2ca² = b²a + bc²

2 = b²a/a²c + bc²/a²c

= b²/ac + bc/a²

b²/ac + bc/a² = 2 ( answer)
