Given that α and ß are roots ot ax²+bx+c=0, (x-α)(x-ß)=0
α+ß=-b/a and αß=c/a
from
▲= b ² -4ac x=(-b ± √ ▲)/2a
▲= (1+m)²-4(2m-1)(1)=
▲=(1+m)²-8m+4
if α=ß, the equation has one solution, that is ▲=0
▲= (1+m)²-4(2m-1)(1)=0
▲=m²-6m+5=0
solve for m
(m-5)(m-1)=0
m=5 or m=1
b)plug α=1/ß in
αß=c/a=1
or c=a
or 2m-1=1
m=0
can you solve the rest? using similar method.
