Question

If a root of the equation ax2+bx+c=0 be reciprocal of a root of the equation then a'x2+b'+c'=0, then

Moderate
Solution

Let α be a root of first equation, then 1α be a root of second equation. Therefore 2++c=0 and a'1α2+b'1α+c'=0 

or c'α2+b'α+a'=0

Hence α2ba'-b'c=αcc'-aa'=1ab'-bc'

(cc'-aa')2=(ba'-cb')(ab'-bc').
