FIITJEE: cubic function

f(x)=ax[p]3[/p]+bx[p]2[/p]+cx+d
g(y)=ay[p]3[/p]+f'''(m)y[p]2[/p]/2+cf''(m)/1+f(m)=0.

f(x) has roots α[ss]1[/ss], α[ss]2[/ss], α[ss]3[/ss] and g(y) has corresponding β roots. PT difference between the corresponding roots are equal.

Re: FIITJEE: cubic function

seems to me the qn has been typed wrongly. I guess it should have been:

[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?g%28y%29%20%3D%20ay%5E3+%5Cfrac%7Bf%22%28m%29%7D%7B2%7Dy%5E2%20+%20f%27%28m%29%20+%20f%28m%29[/im]

Then you can write g(y) as

[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?g%28y%29%20%3D%20a%28y+m%29%5E3+b%28y+m%29%5E2+c%28y+m%29+d[/im]

Its now obvious that if the roots of f are [im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Calpha_1%2C%20%5Calpha_2%2C%20%5Calpha_3[/im], the roots of g are correspondingly

[im]http://codecogs.izyba.com/gif.latex?%5Calpha_1%20-m%2C%20%5Calpha_2-m%2C%20%5Calpha_3-m[/im]

So that the difference of corresponding roots is m

Re: FIITJEE: cubic function

no i meant that g(y) has roots β[ss]1[/ss], β[ss]2[/ss], β[ss]3[/ss]. So PT α[ss]1[/ss]-β[ss]2[/ss]=α[ss]2[/ss]-β[ss]2[/ss]=α[ss]3[/ss]-β[ss]3[/ss] and yes g(y) is typed wrong. Its ay[p]3[/p]+f''(m)y[p]2[/p]/2+f'(m)y+f(m)=0 and f(x)=0 sorry again 4 da inconvenience!
