if A and B are roots of x2+px+q=0  and A4 and B4 are the roots of

x2-rx+s=0,then the equaton   x2-4qx+2q2-r=0 ahs always :

1)2 real roots

2)2 +ve roots

3)2 -ve roots

4)one +ve and one -ve root

pleez answer soon

Re: quadratic good ques.

I got the answer as a) and d) both.

We have.
q = AB, r = A4+B4 and s = A4B4.
Now, D of given eqn. = 16q2-4(2q2-r)
                                = 8q2 + 4r
Now, q4=A4B4
=> q2=A2B2
Therefore, D = 4(A4+B4+2AB) = 4(A2+B2)2 >0
Now, roots of this eqn. are of the form:
[4q (+/-) sqrt(4(A2+B2)2)]/2
Now 2 cases arise

CASE I
: q = +AB
           Then roots are: [4AB (+/-) 2(A2+B2)]/2
                                 = 2AB (+/-) A2+B2
                                 = (A+B)2 and - (A-B)2
                                 = +ve and -ve roots

CASE II: q = -AB
            Then roots are: [-2AB (+/-) A2+B2]
                                  = (A-B)2 and -(A+B)2
                                         
= +VE  and -VE roots

Thus the given eqn. has 2 real roots out of which one is +ve and other is -ve.

Sorry,
I made a mistake there. There will be no CASE II as q = + AB only.
The answer remains the same.

Don't worry we both r right we know.
Have self-confidence now that we r right, after all we both got one common answer.
