Previous Year Question (PYQs)

If $\alpha$ and $\beta$ are the two roots of the quadratic equation $x^2 + ax + b = 0, (ab \ne 0)$ then the quadratic roots whose roots $\frac{1}{\alpha^3+\alpha}$ and $\frac{1}{\beta^3+\beta}$ is
Solution
Given $x^{2} + ax + b = 0$ with roots $\alpha,\beta$,
we use
$\alpha + \beta = -a$ and $\alpha\beta = b$.
Required new roots are
$\dfrac{1}{\alpha^{3}+\alpha}$ and $\dfrac{1}{\beta^{3}+\beta}$.
Since
$\alpha^{3}+\alpha = \alpha(\alpha^{2}+1)$
and using $\alpha^{2}=-a\alpha-b$ (and same for $\beta$),
after simplification the sum and product of new roots become:
