If α and β are the roots of the quadratic equation ax 2 + bx + c = 0, the value of α3 + β3 is
-
-
b (b2 - 3ac ) a 3 -
b ( 3ac - b2 ) a 3 -
b ( 3ac + b2 ) a 3 - None of these
-
Correct Option: B
According to question , we can say that
Since α, β are the roots of the quadratic equation
ax 2 + bx + c = 0
∴ α + β = − | and αβ = | ||
Now, α 3 + β 3 = ( α + β ) 3 - 3αβ( α + β )
= | - | 3 | - 3 x | x | ||||||
a | a | a |
α3 + β3 = | + | = | |||
a3 | a2 | a3 |
Hence , α3 + β3 = | |
