Write the quadratic equation the arithmetic and geometric means of whose roots are A and G respectively.

Answer»

Let two roots be a and b 

∴ The arithmetic mean is given by \(\frac{a+b}{2}\)

⇒ A = \(\frac{a+b}{2}\)

⇒ Geometric mean is given by √a.b 

⇒ G = √a.b

Quadratic equation can be written as 

⇒ x2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0 

Where a and b are roots of given equation

Substituting AM and GM 

⇒ x2-2Ax+G2 = 0.
