Description : If the roots of the equation a(b – c) x^2 + b(c – a)x + c(a – b) = 0 are equal, then a, b, c are in : -Maths 9th
Last Answer : As we know that for the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0, roots will be equal if D=B2−4AC=0 Therefore, for the equation, a(b−c)x2+b(c−a)x+c(a−b)=0 A=a(b−c),B=b(c−a),C=c(a−b) D=0 B2−4AC=0 (b(c−a))2−4(a(b−c))(c(a−b))=0 ⇒ab+bc=2ac Hence a,b and c are in HP.
