JEE Main & Advanced Mathematics Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations Question Bank Relation between roots and coefficients

  • question_answer
    If \[\alpha ,\beta \] are the roots of\[{{x}^{2}}-2x+4=0\], then \[{{\alpha }^{5}}+{{\beta }^{5}}\] is equal to [EAMCET 1990]

    A) 16

    B) 32

    C) 64

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Here \[{{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}=-4,{{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\beta }^{3}}=-16\] \\[({{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}})({{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\beta }^{3}})={{\alpha }^{5}}+{{\beta }^{5}}+{{\alpha }^{2}}{{\beta }^{2}}(\alpha +\beta )\] Þ \[(-4)(-16)={{\alpha }^{5}}+{{\beta }^{5}}+(16)(2)\]Þ\[{{\alpha }^{5}}+{{\beta }^{5}}=32\]
