Question

If α,β are roots of the equation x2+5(2)x+10=0, α>β and Pn=αnβn for each positive integer n, then the value of (P17P20+52P17P19P18P19+52P218) is equal to

Solution

αn2(α2+52α+10)=0 (1)
βn2(β2+52β+10)=0 (2)
From (2)(1)
Pn+52Pn1=10Pn2
Now,
P17(P20+52P19)P18(P19+52P18)=P17.(10P18)P18.(10P17)=1
