suppose x is non zero and let x 1y a show that 7y215y60 if 6
suppose x is non zero, and let x= 1/y
a. show that 7y2-15y+6=0 if 6x2-15x+7=0 and vice versa
b.more generally show that cy2+by+a=0 if ax2+bx+c=0 and vice versa
Solution
a. show that 7y2-15y+6=0 if 6x2-15x+7=0 and vice versa
7y^2-15y+6=0
plug y = 1/x in the above equation:
7(1/x)^2 -15(1/x) +6 =0
take x^2 as lcd :
7 -15x +6x^2 =0
6x^2 -15x +7 =0
Hence Proved
b.more generally show that cy2+by+a=0 if ax2+bx+c=0 and vice versa
cy^2+by+a=0
Plug y = 1/x
c(1/x)^2 +b(1/x) +a =0
take x^2 as lcd :
ax^2 +bx +c =0
Hence proved
