Question
Solve the following quadratic equation:
$abx^2 +(b^2 - ac)x - bc = 0$
✓
Answer
$abx^2 +(b^2 - ac)x - bc = 0$
$\Rightarrow abx^2 + b^2x - acx - bc = 0$
$\Rightarrow bx(ax + b) - c(ax + b) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (ax + b)(bx + c) = 0$
$\Rightarrow (ax + b) = 0$ or $(bx - c) = 0$
$\Rightarrow\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ or $\text{x}=\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}$
Hence, $\frac{-\text{b}}{\text{a}}$ and $\frac{\text{c}}{\text{b}}$ are the roots of the given equation.
