If the equations k(6x2+3)+rx+2x2−1=0k(6x2+3)+rx+2x2−1=0 and 6k(2x2+1)+px+4x2−2=06k(2x2+1)+px+4x2−2=0 have both roots common then the value of (2r−p)(2r−p) is
The two equations can be written as x^2 (6k+2) + rx + (3k-1) = 0 …… (i) & x^2(12k + 4) + px + (6k - 2) = 0 ….. (ii) Divide (ii) by 2 Thus, we get x^...

If z ≠ 0 and z+(1−2z^2/z)=w/z, then w=??
SOLUTION: z+ (1−2z^2/z) = w/z => (z^2 + 1-2z^2 )/z = w/z Cancel out the "w" in the denominators, add the terms in the numerator of the LHS a...

For all real numbers a, b, c, d, e, and f, the operation Θ is defined by the equation (a,b,c)Θ(d,e,f)=ad+be+cf(a,b,c)Θ(d,e,f)=ad+be+cf. What is the value of (1,−2,3)Θ(1,−1/2,1/3) ?
SOLUTION: (a,b,c)Θ(d ,e, f)=ad+ be +cf In the expression (1,−2,3)Θ(1,−1/2,1/3) , a=1 d=1 b=-2 e=-1/2 c=3 f= 1/3 Using this operation, we have, ad+ be +c ...
