    If\[\alpha \]and\[\beta \]are the roots of the equation\[{{x}^{2}}+2x+4=0,\]then\[\frac{1}{{{\alpha }^{3}}}+\frac{1}{{{\beta }^{3}}}\]is equal to:

    A)  \[-\frac{1}{2}\]                                

    B)                         \[\frac{1}{2}\]

    C)                         \[32\]                                  

    D)                         \[\frac{1}{32}\]

    E)                         \[\frac{1}{4}\]

    Correct Answer: E

    Solution :

    \[\because \] \[\alpha \]and\[\beta \]are the roots of equation \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+4=0\] \[\therefore \]  \[\alpha +\beta =-2,\alpha \beta =4\] \[\therefore \]  \[\frac{1}{{{\alpha }^{3}}}+\frac{1}{{{\beta }^{3}}}=\frac{({{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\beta }^{3}})}{{{(\alpha \beta )}^{3}}}\]                 \[=\frac{{{(\alpha +\beta )}^{3}}-3\alpha \beta (\alpha +\beta )}{{{(\alpha \beta )}^{3}}}\] \[=\frac{-8+24}{64}=\frac{1}{4}\]
