Question

If each pair of equations a1x2+b1x+c1=0,a2x2+b2x+c2=0 and a3x2+b3x+c3=0 has a common root, then show that
(i) c1a2+c2a1c1a2c2a1+a1a2b3a3(a1b2a2b1)=0
(ii)(a1b2a2b1a1c2a2c1)2=a1a2c3c1c2a3

Solution

Since each pair has a common root, we choose them as
α,β for I; β,γ for II and γ,α for III
α+β=b1a1,β+γ=b2a2,γ+α=b3a3 ........(A)
αβ=c1a1,βγ=c2a2,γα=c3a3.........(B)
The first relation can be re-written as
(i) a1a2(c1a1+c2a2)a1a2(c1a1c2a2)+b3a31(b2a2b1a1)
or (αβ+βγ)(αββγ)(γ+α)1(β+γ)+(α+β)
or α+γαγγ+ααγ=0
Again L.H.S. of 2nd relation is
(1) ⎢ ⎢ ⎢ ⎢a1a2(b2a2b1a1)a1a2(c2a1c1a1)⎥ ⎥ ⎥ ⎥2=[(β+γ)+(α+β)(βγαβ)]2=(αγ)2[β(γα)]2=1β2
R.H.S. =c3a3.1c1a1.c2a2=γα.1βγ.αβ=1β2
Hence L.H.S.=R.H.S.=1β2
