If the roots of the equation $x^2 + 6x = m$ are $2\alpha + \beta + 2r$ and $\alpha - 2\beta - \frac{r}{2}$, then $m$ is equal to :

The correct answer is
567

Quadratic Equation Roots Analysis

We analyze relationships between roots of quadratic equations to find the value of parameter $m$.

Solving for α, β, and r

Equation 1: $x2 - 3x + r = 0$

  • Roots: $α, β$
  • Vieta's Sum: $α + β = 3$ (1)
  • Vieta's Product: $αβ = r$ (2)

Equation 2: $x2 + 3x + r = 0$

  • Roots: $α/2, 2β$
  • Vieta's Sum: $α/2 + 2β = -3$ (3)
  • Vieta's Product: $(α/2)(2β) = αβ = r$ (4)

From (1), we have $α = 3 - β$. Substituting this into (3):

$(3 - β)/2 + 2β = -3$

Multiply by 2 to clear the fraction: $3 - β + 4β = -6$

Simplify: $3 + 3β = -6$

Solve for $β$: $3β = -9$ &implies $β = -3$

Substitute $β = -3$ back into (1): $α + (-3) = 3$ &implies $α = 6$

Calculate $r$ using (2): $r = αβ = (6)(-3) = -18$

Third Equation Roots and Parameter m

Equation 3: $x2 + 6x = m$, rewritten as $x2 + 6x - m = 0$.

The roots are given as $R1 = 2α + β + 2r$ and $R2 = α - 2β - r/2$.

Substitute the found values: $α=6$, $β=-3$, $r=-18$.

Calculate $R1$: $R1 = 2(6) + (-3) + 2(-18) = 12 - 3 - 36 = -27$

Calculate $R2$: $R2 = 6 - 2(-3) - (-18)/2 = 6 + 6 - (-9) = 12 + 9 = 21$

Determining the Value of m

For Equation 3 ($x2 + 6x - m = 0$), Vieta's formulas state:

  • Sum of roots: $R1 + R2 = -6$. (Check: $-27 + 21 = -6$, consistent.)
  • Product of roots: $R1R2 = -m$

Calculate the product of the roots:

$R1R2 = (-27)(21) = -567$

Equate this product to $-m$:

$-m = -567$

Therefore, $m = 567$.
