Note: + If wie quadratic equations with real coefficients have @ ronsreal complex common root ther Both the rots will be common te. both the equations wil be the same. So the Coefciens of the corresponding powers of x will have: proportonat values. + Ife quadratic equations with rational coficients have 4 corrmon irrational rtp + 4g then both he roots wll be common, i. no two diferent quadratic equations swith rational coefctents can havea commen irational root p+ Determine the values of m for which the equations 3r° + dmx +2=0 and 2e? + 3—2=0may have a common root. Sol. Let « be the common root ofthe equations 3x° + 4x + 2 = O and 2x? + 3x~2= 0. Then, a must satisfy both the equa- tions. Therefore, 3a? +4ma+2=0 2a? +3a-2=0 ‘Using cross-multiplication method, we have (6~4)'= (9 - 8m)(-8m—6) 50 = (8m ~ 9)(4m-+3) 32m? = 12m=77=0 32m? — Sém-+44m~77=0 Bm(4m—7) + 11(4m ~7) (8m +11) m=7)=0 udugue u ¥ Ita! «3 +5=0and ax +x.
