    1. If the quadratic equations 2 2 0ax bx c+ + = and 2 2 0ax cx b+ + = ( )b c have a

    common root then show that a + 4b + 4c = 0

    Sol: Let be the common root of 2 2 0ax bx c+ + = and 2 2 0ax cx b+ + =

    2 2 0a b c + + =

    2 2 0a c b + + =

    2. If 2 6 5 0x x + = and2

    12 0x x p + = have a common root then find p

    Sol: Let be the common root of 2 6 5 0x x + = and 2 12 0x x p + =
