d, e, and f are in GP

Answer»

d, e and f are in GP
`(d)/(a), (e)/(B) and (f)/(c)` are in AP
d,e and f are in AP
`(d)/(a), (e)/(b) and (f)/(c)` are in GP

Solution :Given, three distinct numbers a, b and c are in GP
`:. ""b^(2) = ac`..(i)
and the given quadratic equations
`AX^(2) + 2b x + c = 0`...(i)
`dx^(2) + 2ex + f = 0`...(III) For quadratic Eq. (ii) ,
the DISCRIMINANT `D = (2b)^(2) - 4ac`
`= 4 (b^(2) - ac) = 0` [from Eq. (i)]
`rArr` Quadratic Eq. (ii) have equal roots, and it is equal to `x = -(b)/(a)`, and it is given that quadratic Eqs. (ii) and (iii) have a common root, so
`d (-(b)/(a))^(2) + 2e (-(b)/(a)) + f = 0`
`rArr db^(2) - 2eba + a^(2) f = 0`
`rArr d (ac) - 2eab + a^(2) f = 0 "" [ :' b^(2) = ac]`
`rArr d (ac) - 2eab + a^(2) f = 0 "" [ :' a != 0]`
`rArr 2eb = dc + af`
`rArr 2 (e)/(b) = (dc)/(b^(2)) + (af)/(b^(2))` [dividing each term by `b^(2)`]
`rArr 2 ((e)/(b)) = (d)/(a) + (f)/(c) "" [ :'b^(2) = ac]`
So, `(d)/(a), (e)/(b), (f)/(c)` are in AP.
Alternate Solution
Given, three distinct numbers a, b and c are in GP. Let `a = a, b = ar, c = ar^(2)` are in GP, which satisfies
`ax^(2) + 2bx + c = 0`
`:. ax^(2) + 2(ar) x + ar^(2) = 0`
`rArr x^(2) + 2rx + r^(2) = 0 "" [ :' a != 0]`
`rArr (x + r)^(2) = 0 rArr x = -r`
According to the equation, `ax^(2) + 2bx + c = 0 and dx^(2) + 2ex + f = 0` have a common root.
So, `x = -r` satisfies `dx^(2) + 2ex + f = 0`
`:. d(-r)^(2) + 2e(-r) + f = 0`
`rArr dr^(2) - 2er + f = 0`
`rArr d((c)/(a)) - 2e ((c)/(b)) + f = 0`
`rArr (d)/(a) - (2e)/(b) + (f)/(c) = 0`
`rArr (d)/(a) + (f)/(c) = (2e)/(b) "" [ :' c != 0]`

Let S be the set of 2xx2 matrices given by S={A=[[a,b],[c,d]],"where" a,b,c,d,in I},such that A^(T)=A^(-1) Then

Answer»

number of matrices in set s is equal to 6
number of matricesin set S such that `|A-I_(2)| NE 0` is equal to 3
symmetric matrices are more than skew -symmetric matrices in set S
all matrices in set S are singular

Solution : As, `A A^(T)=I_(2)`
`implies [[a,b],[c,d]],[[a,c],[b,d]]=[[1,0],[0,1]]`
`impliesa=0,b=pm1,d=0,c=pm1`
therefore Total 8 matrices are POSSIBLE They are
`[[1,0],[0,1]],[[1,0],[0,-1]],[[-1,0],[0,1]],[[-1,0],[0,-1]]`
`[[0,1],[1,0]],[[0,-1],[1,0]],[[0,1],[-1,0]],[[0,-1],[-1,0]]`
ALSO `|A-I_(2)|=|A-AA^(T)|=|A||I_(2)-A^(T)|`
`=|A||(I_(2)-A^(T))^(T)|=|A||I_(2)-A|`
`=|A||A-I_(2)|`
`implies|A|=1(As,|A-I_(2)|ne 0)`
except `A=1=[[1,0],[0,1]]`
where `|A|=1 but`
