if  3x^2 +2αxy+2y^2 +2ax−4y+1  can be resolved  into  two  linear  factors,  prove  that  ′α′  is a root   of the equation x^2 +4ax+2a^2 +6=0

$${if}\:\:\mathrm{3}{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\alpha{xy}+\mathrm{2}{y}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{ax}−\mathrm{4}{y}+\mathrm{1} \\ $$$${can}\:{be}\:{resolved}\:\:{into}\:\:{two}\:\:{linear} \\ $$$${factors},\:\:{prove}\:\:{that}\:\:'\alpha'\:\:{is}\:{a}\:{root}\: \\ $$$${of}\:{the}\:{equation}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{ax}+\mathrm{2}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{6}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$

ax^2 +2hxy+by^2 +2gx+2fy+c=0  a=3  h=α  b=2  g=a  f=−2  c=1  Δ= determinant ((a,h,g),(h,b,f),(g,f,c))   determinant ((3,α,a),(α,2,(−2)),(a,(−2),1))  =−(α^2 +4aα+2a^2 +6)  (α^2 +4aα+2a^2 +6)=0  implies α is root of above equation.  This is necessary but not sufficient  condition.  for the quadratic to represent a pair  a straight lines you need  ab−h^2 =6−α^2 <0  Other Cases  Δ=0,ab−h^2 <0 ⇒2 lines  Δ=0,ab−h^2 >0 ⇒one point  Δ=0,ab−h^2 =0 ⇒one line

$${ax}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{hxy}+{by}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}{gx}+\mathrm{2}{fy}+{c}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${a}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${h}=\alpha \\ $$$${b}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${g}={a} \\ $$$${f}=−\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${c}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\Delta=\begin{vmatrix}{{a}}&{{h}}&{{g}}\\{{h}}&{{b}}&{{f}}\\{{g}}&{{f}}&{{c}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$\begin{vmatrix}{\mathrm{3}}&{\alpha}&{{a}}\\{\alpha}&{\mathrm{2}}&{−\mathrm{2}}\\{{a}}&{−\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{1}}\end{vmatrix} \\ $$$$=−\left(\alpha^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{a}\alpha+\mathrm{2}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{6}\right) \\ $$$$\left(\alpha^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{4}{a}\alpha+\mathrm{2}{a}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{6}\right)=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${implies}\:\alpha\:{is}\:{root}\:{of}\:{above}\:{equation}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{This}\:\mathrm{is}\:\mathrm{necessary}\:\mathrm{but}\:\mathrm{not}\:\mathrm{sufficient} \\ $$$$\mathrm{condition}. \\ $$$$\mathrm{for}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{quadratic}\:\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{represent}\:\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{pair} \\ $$$$\mathrm{a}\:\mathrm{straight}\:\mathrm{lines}\:\mathrm{you}\:\mathrm{need} \\ $$$${ab}−{h}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{6}−\alpha^{\mathrm{2}} <\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{Other}\:\mathrm{Cases} \\ $$$$\Delta=\mathrm{0},{ab}−{h}^{\mathrm{2}} <\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{2}\:{lines} \\ $$$$\Delta=\mathrm{0},{ab}−{h}^{\mathrm{2}} >\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{point} \\ $$$$\Delta=\mathrm{0},{ab}−{h}^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{0}\:\Rightarrow\mathrm{one}\:\mathrm{line} \\ $$

You can use the following sentence  to memorize the determinant.  all hostel guys have best friends  go for cinema

$$\mathrm{You}\:\mathrm{can}\:\mathrm{use}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{following}\:\mathrm{sentence} \\ $$$$\mathrm{to}\:\mathrm{memorize}\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{determinant}. \\ $$$${a}\mathrm{ll}\:{h}\mathrm{ostel}\:{g}\mathrm{uys}\:{h}\mathrm{ave}\:{b}\mathrm{est}\:{f}\mathrm{riends} \\ $$$${g}\mathrm{o}\:{f}\mathrm{or}\:{c}\mathrm{inema} \\ $$
