Homework Statement
The equation A2/(x-a) + B2/(x-b) + C2/(x-c) + ... + H2/(x-h) = k has
1) No real root
2) At most one real root
3) No complex root
4) At most two complex roots
The Attempt at a Solution
We can see that the function f(x) = L.H.S. - R.H.S. is a strictly decreasing function with x=a,b,c...h as its asymptotes. This is all I could think of.
