a)show that α and β are real and distinct
b) find the minimum value of ︱α-β︳
2. α and β are the roots of the equation x^2-(m-1)x+3(m-5)= 0 where m is real.
a) show that α and β are real and distinct
b) show that (3-α)(3-β)
3. let α and β be the roots of the quadratic equation x^2-(m+3/m)x+2=0where m is a non-zero constaant
a)using the fact that (a-b)^2≧0 for all real numbers a and b , show thatm^2+9/(m^2)≧6
hence, show that (m+3/m)^2≧12
b) using the result of (a), deduce that α and β are distinct real numbers
c)find the range of values of m such that ︱α+β︳≦2αβ
