Q7 of 176 Page 21

Construct a quadratic in x such that A.M. of its roots is A and G.M. is G.

Let the root of the quadratic equation be a and b.


According to the given condition,


⇒


⇒ a + b = 2A …..(1)


⇒ GM = √ab = G


= ab = G2…(2)


The quadratic equation is given by,


x2– x (Sum of roots) + (Product of roots) = 0


x2 – x (2A) + (G2) = 0


x2 – 2Ax + G2 = 0 [Using (1) and (2)]


Thus, the required quadratic equation is x2 – 2Ax + G2 = 0.
