1. Prove that the equation \(x^2(p^2 + q^2) + 2x(pr + qs) + r^2 + s^2 = 0\) has no real roots. If \(ps = qr\), then show that the roots are real and equal.
Answer:
Here, \(a =\) , \(b =\) , \(c =\)
\(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac =\)
Since \(\Delta =\) , the given equation has .
If \(ps = qr\), then \(\Delta =\) .
Therefore, if \(ps = qr\) and so the roots will be .
Hence, we proved.
2. If the difference between the roots of the equation \(x^2 - 13x + k = 0\) is \(17\), then find the value of \(k\).
Answer:
The value of \(k\) is
