a: a=1; b=4m+1; c=-8
Vì ac<0 nen phương trình luôn có hai nghiệm phân biệt
b: Ta có: \(\left|x_1-x_2\right|=17\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{\left(x_1-x_2\right)^2}=17\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{\left(x_1+x_2\right)^2-4x_1x_2}=17\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\sqrt{\left(4m+1\right)^2-4\cdot\left(-8\right)}=17\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(4m+1\right)^2=289-32=257\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}4m+1=\sqrt{257}\\4m+1=-\sqrt{257}\end{matrix}\right.\Leftrightarrow\left[{}\begin{matrix}m=\dfrac{\sqrt{257}-1}{4}\\m=\dfrac{-\sqrt{257}-1}{4}\end{matrix}\right.\)
