If α and β are zeros of the polynomial p(x) =3x2-10x+7 then find the value of α3+β3​

Answer»

EXPLANATION.

α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial.

⇒ 3x² - 10x + 7 = 0.

As we KNOW that,

Sum of the zeroes of the quadratic equation.

⇒ α + β = -b/a.

⇒ α + β = -(-10)/3 = 10/3.

Products of the zeroes of the quadratic equation.

⇒ αβ = c/a.

⇒ αβ = 7/3.

To find = (α³ + β³).

As we know that,

Formula of :

⇒ x³ + y³ = (x + y)(x² - xy + y²).

⇒ x² + y² = (x + y)² - 2xy.

⇒ (α³ + β³) = (α + β)(α² + β² - αβ).

⇒ (α³ + β³) = (α + β)[(α + β)² - 2αβ - αβ].

⇒ (α³ + β³) = (α + β)[(α + β)² - 3αβ].

Put the values in the equation, we get.

⇒ (α³ + β³) = (10/3)[(10/3)² - 3(7/3)].

⇒ (α³ + β³) = (10/3)[100/9 - 7].

⇒ (α³ + β³) = (10/3)[100 - 63/9].

⇒ (α³ + β³) = (10/3)[37/9].

⇒ (α³ + β³) = 370/27.
