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

  • question_answer
    If \[\alpha \]and \[\beta \] are roots of the equation \[A{{x}^{2}}+Bx+C=0\], then value of \[{{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\beta }^{3}}\] is  [RPET 1996; DCE 2005]

    A) \[\frac{3ABC-{{B}^{3}}}{{{A}^{3}}}\]

    B) \[\frac{3ABC+{{B}^{3}}}{{{A}^{3}}}\] 

    C) \[\frac{{{B}^{3}}-3ABC}{{{A}^{3}}}\]

    D) \[\frac{{{B}^{3}}-3ABC}{{{B}^{3}}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given equation,  \[A{{x}^{2}}+Bx+C=0\] Þ \[\alpha +\beta =-\frac{B}{A},\alpha \beta =\frac{C}{A}\] \ \[{{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\beta }^{3}}={{(\alpha +\beta )}^{3}}-3\alpha \beta (\alpha +\beta )\] \[={{\left( -\frac{B}{A} \right)}^{3}}-3\left( \frac{C}{A} \right)\,\left( -\frac{B}{A} \right)\]\[=-\frac{{{B}^{3}}}{{{A}^{3}}}+\frac{3BC}{{{A}^{2}}}\] \[{{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\beta }^{3}}=\frac{3ABC-{{B}^{3}}}{{{A}^{3}}}\].
