Complex Numbers And Quadratic Equations question 816

Question: If $ \alpha ,\beta ,\gamma $ are the roots of the equation $ x^{3}+x+1=0 $ , then the value of $ {{\alpha }^{3}}{{\beta }^{3}}{{\gamma }^{3}} $ [MP PET 2004]

Options:

A) 0

B) - 3

C) 3

D) - 1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

We know that the roots of the equation $ ax^{3}+bx^{2}+cx+d=0 $ follows $ \alpha \beta \gamma =-d/a $ Comparing above equation with given equation we get $ d=1,a=1 $ So, $ \alpha \beta \gamma =-1 $ or $ {{\alpha }^{3}}{{\beta }^{3}}{{\gamma }^{3}}=-1 $ .
