If A and B are roots of a quadratic equation, then the equation can be written as follow:- x^2 - (A+B)x + (A*B)=0. It is given that the arithmetic mean of the roots is 6. This means... (A+B)/2 =6 further implying (A+B) =12. Also the geometric mean of the roots is given as 4. this means... square...

If A and B are roots of a quadratic equation, then the equation can be written as follow:- x^2 - (A+B)x + (A*B)=0. It is given that the arithmetic mean of the roots is 6. This means... (A+B)/2 =6 further implying (A+B) =12. Also the geometric mean of the roots is given as 4. this means... square root of (A*B)=4, Therefore A*B =16. Hence, the quadratic equation is x^2-12x+16=0. Roots of a quadratic equation of the form a(x^2)+bx+c=0 is given by x= [-b+ sqrt(b^2)-4ac)]/2a and [-b- sqrt(b^2)-4ac)]/2a. Here a=1, b= -12 and c=16. putting this we get, x= [12 + sqrt(144-64)]/2 and [12 - sqrt(144-64)]/2, = [12 + sqrt(80)]/2 and [12 - sqrt(80)]/2 = [12 + sqrt(16*5)]/2 and [12 + sqrt(16*5)]/2 taking 16 outside the sqrt sign = [12 + 4sqrt(5)]/2 and [12 - 4sqrt(5)]/2 now simplify by dividing each term of numerator (separated by + sign) by denominator x=6+2sqrt(5) and 6-2sqrt(5). NOTE:- sqrt here refers to operation of taking square root. read less

A quadratic equation whose roots are r1 and r2, is x2 - (r1 + r2)x + r1r2 = 0 Given, (r1 + r2)/2 = 6 and sqrt(r1r2) = 4 Hence, the quadratic equation is x2 - 12x + 16 = 0 Roots are 6+2?5, 6-2?5

Let 'a' and 'b' be the roots of the quadratic equation. A.M. of a, b = a + b / 2 = 6 , G.M. of a , b = ab = square4 = 16 ,therefore, a + b = 12 , ab = 16 . Equation whose roots are a , b is x2 - (a + b)x + ab = 0 , then required quadratic equation is x2 - 12x + 16 = 0

Let, roots are a and b. So Equation is : (x-a)(x-b)=0 => x^2 --a.x-b.x +a.b=0=> x^2 --(a+b)x + a.b=0---- (1) According to the question, AM=(a+b)/2= 6=> a+b=12 GM=?(a.b)=4 => a.b= 16. Substituting these in (1), The required quadratic equation is: x^2 --12x+16=0, To solve the equation, use Shridharacharya’s...
