Question
Question: If the roots of the equation \(\frac{x^{2} - bx}{ax - c}\)= \(\frac{\lambda - 1}{\lambda + 1}\) are ...
If the roots of the equation ax−cx2−bx= λ+1λ−1 are such that
a + b = 0, then the value of l is-
A
a+ba−b
B
c
C
c1
D
a−ba+b
Answer
a+ba−b
Explanation
Solution
(l + 1) (x2 – bx) = (l – 1) (ax – c)
Ž lx2 + (–bl – b – al + a) x + cl – c = 0
Since a + b = 0, we have
λ(bλ−b−aλ+a) = 0
Ž –bl – b – al + a = 0 Ž l = a+ba−b.
