One of the roots of the quadratic equation dx^2+cx+p=0 is twice the other, find the relationship between d, c and p

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

$c^2 = 9dp$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$dx^2 + cx + p = 0$

Let the roots be $\alpha$ and $\beta$

So:

$\alpha = 2\beta$

Required

Determine the relationship between d, c and p

$dx^2 + cx + p = 0$

Divide through by d

$\frac{dx^2}{d} + \frac{cx}{d} + \frac{p}{d} = 0$

$x^2 + \frac{c}{d}x + \frac{p}{d} = 0$

A quadratic equation has the form:

$x^2 - (\alpha + \beta)x + \alpha \beta = 0$

So:

$x^2 - (2\beta+ \beta)x + \beta*\beta = 0$

$x^2 - (3\beta)x + \beta^2 = 0$

So, we have:

$\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta$ -- (1)

and

$\frac{p}{d} = \beta^2$ -- (2)

Make $\beta$ the subject in (1)

$\frac{c}{d} = -3\beta$

$\beta = -\frac{c}{3d}$

Substitute $\beta = -\frac{c}{3d}$ in (2)

$\frac{p}{d} = (-\frac{c}{3d})^2$

$\frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}$

Multiply both sides by d

$d * \frac{p}{d} = \frac{c^2}{9d^2}*d$

$p = \frac{c^2}{9d}$

Cross Multiply

$9dp = c^2$

or

$c^2 = 9dp$

Hence, the relationship between d, c and p is: $c^2 = 9dp$

Find the prime factorization of 30

sattari [20]

Let us start dividing 30 by small prime numbers in increasing order .

the smallest prime number we use is 2

Let's divide 30 by 2 quotient is 15

so we get : 30 = 2* 15

15 is not a prime number , it can be factorized further .

now we start dividing 15

2 can not divide 15 so we move to next prime number that is 3

can 3 divide 15? yes .

we get a quotient 5

so 30 is now : 2* 15 = 2* 3*5

now we have to work on 5 but 5 is a prime number so we stop here .

the prime factorization of 30 is : 2* 3* 5

Answer : 2 *3*5
