Verification of proof on repeated root for a quadratic polynomial

77 Views Asked by At

I'm fairly new to writing proofs so I'd appreciate it if anyone could point out amy holes in this proof, and if there's any comments so I could improve my proof writing!

Question: "Let $a ≠ 0$. If there exists one $x_1$ such that $ax_1^2 + bx_1 + c = 0$ and no other. Without using the quadratic formula, show that $b^2 - 4ac = 0$."

I'm also given the proposition that if $a ≠ 0$, $ax_1^2 + bx_1 + c = 0$ and $ax_2^2 + bx_2 + c = 0$ then $x_2 = -(\frac{b}{a} + x_1)$.

If it's given that only one such $x_1$ exists for the first equation, I assume I may let $x_2 = x_1$, so then I end up with $x_1 = -(\frac{b}{2a})$. Then, by substituting into the first equation, I arrive at

$a(\frac{b^2}{4a^2}) - b(\frac{b}{2a}) + c = 0$

We have $a ≠ 0$, so simplifying we get

$\frac{-(b^2 - 4ac)}{4a} = 0$

Implying $b^2 - 4ac$ is equal to zero.

$$ax^2 +bx +c =a(x^2+\frac{b}{a}x )+c =$$

$$a(x+\frac {b}{2a})^2 +c -\frac {b^2}{4a} = a(x+\frac{b}{2a})^2 -\frac {b^2-4ac}{4a} $$ in order for the equation to have double root we need $$\frac {b^2-4ac}{4a}=0 $$
