Quadratic Equations

Among the following which pair of quadratic equations have the same nature of roots?

a) 13x2+41x+37 and 912+67x+13
b) 11x2+23x+25 and 59x2+45x+11
c) 31x2+14x+7 and 52x2+76x+31
d) all

Finding out the discriminant is a tedious job.... is their any other method to arrange them and know the nature of roots?

answer is all

the f(-x) has the sign changed only once (the x term) for all the equations

basic is like dis

let

f(x) = 13x^2 + 41 x + 37 \, \, \, \, and \, \, \, \, g(x)= 91 x^2 +67x + 13

now

f(-x) = 13(-x)^2 + 41 (-x) + 37 = 13 x^2 -41 x + 37

observin coeefecients of f(-x)

13 x^2 -41 x + 37
+ \,\, -\, \, \, \, +

coefficient of x^2 is 13 which is +ve

coefficient of x =-41 which is -ve

constant term = + ve

hence sign of f(-x) changes two times

from +ve to - ve and then -ve to + ve

f(x) = 13x^2 + 41 x + 37

here there is no change in signs of coefficient of x2 , x , and constant term

ie all are +ve

hence

no of positive roots = no of changes in signs of f(x) =p

no.o negative roots = no.o changes in signs of f(-x) = n

no.o complex roots = degree of f(x) - n-p =c

similarly u can continue for g(x) and other three options

but JAI this method only tells max.no. of +ve or -ve roots so how can this b applicable.........?????

all the roots are negative

if product is +ve then either bothe are +ve or -ve

and then see the sumif it is negative then bothe are negtive or vice versa
