If x2 + 4y2 + 3z2 + = 2 (x + y + z), then the value of (x - 4y + 3z) is:
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e.
(a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
x2 + 4y2 + 3z2 +
⇒ (x2 - 2√3x + 3) + (4y2 - 2√3y + (3/4)) + (3z2 - 2√3z + 1) = 0
⇒ (x - √3)2 + (2y - (√3/2))2 + (√3z - 1)2 = 0
So,
(x - √3)2 = 0
⇒ x = √3
(2y - (√3/2))2 = 0
⇒ y = √3/4
(√3z - 1)2 = 0
⇒ z = 1/√3
Now,
x - 4y + 3z
⇒ √3 - 4 × (√3/4) + 3 × (1/√3)
⇒ √3 - √3 + √3
⇒ √3
