3. Biquadratic Equation
If , , and are the roots of a biquadratic equation, then the equation is
The quadratic function f(x) = ax2 + 2hxy + by2 + 2gx + 2fy + c is always resolvable
into linear
factor, iff
abc + 2fgh af2 bg2 ch2 = 0
(iii) For D < O,parabola does not cut X-axis (i.e., imaginary value of x)
(iii) Both .the roots are less than a given number k, iff the following conditions
are satisfied
D 0, -b/2a > k and f(k) > 0
(iv) Both the roots lie in a given interval (k1, k2), iff the following conditions
are satisfied
D 0,k1 < -b/2a < k2 and f(k1) > 0, f(k2) > 0
(v) Exactly one of the roots lie in a given interval (k1, k2), iff
(vi) A given number k lies between the roots iff f(k) < O. In particular, the
roots of the equation
will be of opposite sign, iff 0 lies between the roots.
f(0) < 0
