Previous Year Question (PYQs)



Let $\alpha, \beta$ be the roots of the equation $ x^{2} + 2\sqrt{2}x - 1 = 0 $. The quadratic equation whose roots are $\alpha^{4} + \beta^{4}$ and $\dfrac{1}{10} (\alpha^{6} + \beta^{6})$ is:





Solution

Solution:

$ x^2 + 2\sqrt{2}x - 1 = 0 $

$ \alpha + \beta = -2\sqrt{2}, \;\; \alpha\beta = -1 $

$ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha+\beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta = 8 + 2 = 10 $

$ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = (\alpha^2+\beta^2)^2 - 2(\alpha\beta)^2 = 100 - 2 = 98 $

Now,

$ \alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha+\beta)^3 - 3\alpha\beta(\alpha+\beta) $

$ = (-2\sqrt{2})^3 - 3(-1)(-2\sqrt{2}) = -16\sqrt{2} - 6\sqrt{2} = -22\sqrt{2} $

$ \alpha^6 + \beta^6 = (\alpha^3+\beta^3)^2 - 2(\alpha\beta)^3 $

$ = ( -22\sqrt{2} )^2 - 2(-1)^3 = 968 + 2 = 970 $

Second root:

$ \frac{1}{10}(\alpha^6 + \beta^6) = 97 $

Sum of roots = $ 98 + 97 = 195 $

Product = $ 98 \times 97 = 9506 $

Required equation:

$ x^2 - 195x + 9506 = 0 $

$ \boxed{x^2 - 195x + 9506 = 0} $
