As α and β are the roots of ax 2


+ bx + c = 0.
b c
∴α+β= − and αβ =
a a
Now, second equation is,
ax2 − bx(x − 1) + c(x − 1)2 = 0

⇒ (a − b + c)x2 − x(b − 2c) + c = 0

Let m and n are the roots of this equation.


c
Then, mn = a − bc + c = a
b c
1− a + a

αβ
=
1 + (α + β) + αβ

αβ
=
(1 + α) + β(1 + α)

αβ
∴ mn = → (1)
(1 + α)(1 + β)
2c
− ba
Now, m+n=
2c − b
a−b+c
=
a

1 − ba +
c
a

2αβ + α + β
=
1 + (α + β) + αβ

αβ + αβ + α + β
=
1 + (α + β) + αβ

α(β + 1) + β(α + 1)
=
(1 + α)(1 + β)

α β
m+n= + → (2)
α+1 β+1
From (1) and (2),
α β
m= ,n =
α+1 β+1
