Vedclass · Answer

(C) The discriminant of the first equation is $D_1 = b^2 - 4ac$. The difference of roots is $(\alpha - \beta)^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 4\alpha\beta = \frac{b^2}{a^2} - \frac{4c}{a} = \frac{b^2 - 4ac}{a^2}$.For the second equation,the roots are $\alpha - k$ and $\beta - k$. The difference of roots is $(\alpha - k - (\beta - k))^2 = (\alpha - \beta)^2 = \frac{b^2 - 4ac}{a^2}$.Also,for the second equation,the difference of roots squared is $\frac{B^2 - 4AC}{A^2}$.Equating the two,we get $\frac{b^2 - 4ac}{a^2} = \frac{B^2 - 4AC}{A^2}$.Therefore,$\frac{B^2 - 4AC}{b^2 - 4ac} = \frac{A^2}{a^2} = \left( \frac{A}{a} \right)^2$.

For the equation $ax^2 + bx + c = 0$,the roots are $\alpha, \beta$,and for the equation $Ax^2 + Bx + C = 0$,the roots are $\alpha - k, \beta - k$. Then $\frac{B^2 - 4AC}{b^2 - 4ac} = \dots$
