Let λ ≠ 0 be in R . If α and β are the roots of the equation x 2 - x + 2 λ = 0 ,…

Let λ0 be in R. If α and β are the roots of the equation x2-x+2λ=0, and α and γ are the roots of the equation 3x2-10x+27λ=0, then βγλ is equal to ________.

Solution

α+β=1   ...i

αβ=2λ   ...ii
α+γ=103   ...iii
αγ=9λ   ...iv
from iv & ii
γβ=92   ...v

from iii-i

γ-β=103-1=73   ...vi

from v and vi

β=23,γ=3
from i α=1-β=1-23=13
from ii λ=αβ2=13×232=19
So βγλ=23×319=18
