Quadratic Equations

Let a,b,c,d be real nos. in G.P. If u,v,w satisfy the equations :

u+2v+3w=6
4u+5v+6w=12
6u+9v=4

then show that the roots of the equation

(1u+1v+1w)x2 + [(b-c)2 + (c-a)2 + (d-b)2]x + u+v+w = 0

and 20x2 + 10(a-d)2x - 9 = 0 are reciprocals of each other.

The Eqn 1 (the one including u ,v , w) is reduced to

-9 / 10 x2 + (a - d)2 x + 2 = 0

[ Using b2 = ac , c2 = bd & bc = ad ]

Now, substitute 1/x in place of x to prove that the roots of eqn 2 r reciprocals of that of 1
