If α and β are the distinct roots of the equation x 2 + 3 1 4 x + 3 1 2 = 0 , then the value of…

If α and β are the distinct roots of the equation x2+314x+312=0, then the value of α96α12-1+β96β12-1 is equal to:
  1. 56×325
  2. 56×324
  3. 52×324
  4. 28×325

Solution

We have,

x2+314x+312=0

Since, α is the root, therefore α2+3=-314·α

On squaring, both sides we get

α4+23α2+3=3α2

α4+3=-3α2

On squaring, both sides we get

α8+6α4+9=3α4

α8=-9-3α4

Multiply by α4, we get

α12=-9α4-3α8

 α12=-9α4-3-9-3α4

α12=27

α128=278

α96=324

Similarly,

β96=324

 α96α12-1+β96β12-1=324+27+27-2=324×52
