If a, b and c are positive numbers in a GP, then the roots of the quadratic equation
are
C.
Since, a, b and c are in GP.
Hence, one of the root of given equation is 1.
Let another root be
Hence, roots are 1 and loga(c).
For every real number x,
let f(x) = Then, the equation f(x) = 0 has
no real solution
exactly one real solution
exactly two real solutions
infinite number of real solutions
