Construct a quadratic in x such that A.M. of its roots is A and G.M. is G. |
|
Answer» Let the root of the quadratic equation be a and b. According to the given condition, ⇒ AM = a+b/2 = A ⇒ a + b = 2A …..(1) ⇒ GM = √ab = G = ab = G2…(2) The quadratic equation is given by, x2– x (Sum of roots) + (Product of roots) = 0 x2 – x (2A) + (G2) = 0 x2 – 2Ax + G2 = 0 [Using (1) and (2)] Thus, the required quadratic equation is x2 – 2Ax + G2 = 0. |
