+845 The cubic equation π₯^3 β 2π₯ β 3 = 0 has roots πΌ, π½ and πΎ. Find a cubic equation with integer coefficients which have roots;
For B so far i did:
inverse of 1/x = 1/x
then i subbed it into the cubic equation however i stopped here as it doesnt match the answer at all
please help thanks
+6251 in (b) is it really supposed to be \(\dfrac 1 \alpha + \dfrac 1 \beta\)
or does it mean that \(\dfrac 1 \alpha, ~\dfrac 1 \beta,~\dfrac 1 \gamma\) are all roots?
+118677 I am with Rom, I think that + is meant to be a comma.
Once you respond to our query we might be able to answer you.
+33661 On the assumption that a) is indeed \(\frac{1}{\alpha},\frac{1}{\beta},\frac{1}{\gamma}\) we have:
+6251 or you can just find
\(p\left(\dfrac 1 x\right) = 0\\ \left(\dfrac 1 x\right)^3 - \dfrac 2 x - 3 = 0\\ 1 - 2x^2 - 3x^3 = 0 \\ \text{This is the form the problem asks for, but}\\ \text{dividing both sides by -3}\\ x^3 + \dfrac 2 3 x^2 - \dfrac 1 3 = 0\\ \text{which is the form Alan wrote it in}\)
\(\text{similarly for the second part}\\ x=\dfrac{1}{2\alpha+1} \Rightarrow \alpha = \dfrac 1 2\left(\dfrac 1 x -1\right)\\ \text{so find }\\ p\left(\dfrac 1 2\left(\dfrac 1 x -1\right)\right)\\ \text{and work the same sort of algebra to get nice coefficients}\)
