उत्तर
The given quadratic equation is (c2 – ab)x2 – 2(a2 – bc)x + b2 – ac = 0.
Here,
A = c2 – ab
B = – 2(a2 – bc)
C = b2 – ac
If the given quadratic equation has equal roots, then its discriminant is zero.
∴ D = 0
⇒ B2 – 4AC = 0
⇒[–2 (a2 – bc)]2 – 4(c2 – ab)(b2 – ac) = 0
⇒ 4(a2 – bc)2 – 4(c2b2 – ac3 – ab3 + a2bc) = 0
⇒ 4(a4 + b2c2 – 2a2bc ) – 4(c2b2 – ac3 – ab3 + a2bc) = 0
⇒ a4 + b2c2 – 2a2bc – b2c2 + ac3 + ab3 – a2bc = 0
⇒ a4 + ab3 + ac3 – 3a2bc = 0
⇒ a(a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc) = 0
⇒ a = 0 or a3 + b3 + c3 – 3abc = 0
⇒ a = 0 or a3 + b3 + c3 = 3abc
