Suppose I have a general quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0
And I have α,β as roots, then what is the simplest way to find (aα+b)−2+(aβ+b)−2 ?
I know the formula for finding the sum and product of roots, but that doesn't helped me in finding the value.
Any good hint is welcomed.
Answer
Some assumptions:
c,α,β≠0 (the answer will be a bit modified without these assumptions)
Since α is a root therefore
aα2+bα+c=0aα+b=−cα1(aα+b)2=α2c2
Thus
1(aα+b)2+1(aβ+b)2=α2+β2c2=(α+β)2−2αβc2
