  1. Question 1 (case study, 2 parts)

    Quadratic Equations. Asked once: NDA 2 2025

    For the following two (02) items: Let α\alpha and β\beta be the roots of the quadratic equation x2+(log⁡0.5(a2))x+(log⁡0.5(a2))4=0x^2+(\log_{0.5}(a^2))x+(\log_{0.5}(a^2))^4=0 where a2≠1a^2\neq 1 and log⁡0.5(a2)>0\log_{0.5}(a^2)>0. Further, β2=α(log⁡a2(0.5))\beta^2=\alpha(\log_{a^2}(0.5)).
