已知an-bm≠0,a≠0,ax2+bx+c=0,mx2+nx+p=0,求证:(cm-ap)2=(bp-cn)(an-bm).

问题描述:

已知an-bm≠0,a≠0,ax2+bx+c=0,mx2+nx+p=0,求证:(cm-ap)2=(bp-cn)(an-bm).

证明:∵an-bm≠0
∴方程ax2+bx+c=0和方程mx2+nx+p=0有相等的根.
方程ax2+bx+c=0可化为x2+

b
a
x+
c
a
=0   ①
方程mx2+nx+p=0可化为x2+
n
m
x+

m
=0   ②
把方程①-②可得:(

)x+(

)=0
解方程得:
bm−an
am
x+
cm−ap
am
=0
(bm-an)x+(cm-ap)=0
x=
ap−cm
bm−an

把x=
ap−cm
bm−an
代入方程ax2+bx+c=0
得:a(
ap−cm
bm−an
)
2
+b(
ap−cm
bm−an
)+c=0
a(ap-cm)2+b(ap-cm)(bm-an)+c(bm-an)2=0
a(ap-cm)2+(bm-an)(abp-bcm+bcm-can)=0
a(ap-cm)2+a(bm-an)(bp-cn)=0
∵a≠0,
∴两边同时除以a得到:(ap-cm)2+(bm-an)(bp-cn)=0
故(ap-cm)2=(bp-cn)(an-bm).
