Determine the nature of the roots of the following quadratic equations:
$(x-2a)(x-2b)=4ab$
Given:
Given quadratic equation is $(x-2a)(x-2b)=4ab$.
To do:
We have to determine the nature of the roots of the given quadratic equation.
Solution:
$(x-2a)(x-2b)=4ab$
$x^2-2ax-2bx-2a(-2b)=4ab$
$x^2-(2a+2b)x+4ab=4ab$
$x^2-2(a+b)x=0$
Comparing the given quadratic equation with the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$, we get,
$a=1, b=-2(a+b)$ and $c=0$.
The discriminant of the standard form of the quadratic equation $ax^2+bx+c=0$ is $D=b^2-4ac$.
$D=[-2(a+b)]^2-4(1)(0)$
$D=4(a+b)^2-0$
$D=[2(a+b)]^2>0$ (Square of a number is positive)
Therefore, the roots of the given quadratic equation are real and distinct.
