real
imaginary
The quadratic equation whose roots are three times the roots of 3ax2 + 3bx + c = 0 is
ax2 + 3bx + 3c = 0
ax2 + 3bx + c
9ax2 + 9bx + c
ax2 + bx + 3c
Find the values of 'a' for which the expression x2 - (3a - 1)x + 2a2 + 2a - 11 is always positive
Since, x2 - (3a - 1)x + 2a2 + 2a - 11 > 0
D < 0
(3a - 1)2 - 4(2a2 + 2a - 11) < 0
9a2 - 6a + 1 - 8a2 - 8a + 44 < 0
a2 - 14a + 45 < 0
(a - 5)(a - 9) < 0
5 < a < 9
The value of (1 - w + w2)5 + (1 + w - w2)5, where w and w2 are the complex cube roots of unity, is
