Question

If α,β are the zeros of quadratic polynomial f(x)=x2px+q, prove that α2β2+β2α2=p4q2p2q+2

Open in App
Solution

α+β=p,αβ=q ............... (1)

Required to prove: α2β2+β2α2=p4q2p2q+2

Simplifying the LHS, we get

α2β2+β2α2=α4+β4(αβ)2
=(α2+β2)22α2β2(αβ)2
=(α2+β2)2α2β22
=((α+β)22αβ)2α2β22

From eq (1), we get

=(p22q)2q22
=p4+4q24p2qq22
=p4q24p2q+2

Hence proved.
