4-2.Quadratic Equations and Inequations
hard
In the equation ${x^3} + 3Hx + G = 0$, if $G$ and $H$ are real and ${G^2} + 4{H^3} > 0,$ then the roots are
A
All real and equal
B
All real and distinct
C
One real and two imaginary
D
All real and two equal
Solution
(c) Given eqn ${x^3} + 3Hx + G = 0$ and $G$ and $H$ are real and ${G^2} + 4{H^3} > 0$.
Let $\alpha ,\beta $ be the roots of given cubic equation.
We know that $\alpha = {\left( {\frac{{ – G + \sqrt {{G^2} + 4{H^3}} }}{2}} \right)^{1/3}}$ and $\beta = {\left( {\frac{{ – G – \sqrt {{G^2} + 4{H^3}} }}{2}} \right)^{1/3}}$, since ${G^2} + 4{H^3}> 0,$
therefore the cubic equation has got one real and two imaginary roots.
