If we take two quadtratic equations:
ax2 + bx + c = 0
and
mx2+ nx + p = 0
Case I : Only One Common root
In this case Let that common root be ¥
Then
a¥2 + b¥ + c = 0
and
m¥2+ n¥ + p = 0
Now add the two equations to get another quadratic equation:
(a+m)¥2 + (b+n)¥ + c+p = 0
Replace ¥ by x
(a+m)x2 + (b+n)x + c+p = 0. Now this quadratic has only ine root
That means
D = 0
Or,
(b+n)2 -4(a+m)(c+p) = 0
Case II : Atleast One common root:
Here D of [(a+m)x2 + (b+n)x + c+p = 0. ]
D>=0
or
(b+n)2 -4(a+m)(c+p) >=0
