Question

If x3 - 1 can be written as (xα0) (xα1) (xα2).Where,α0,α1 and α2 are the roots of the equation

and 1(3α0) + 1(3α1) + 1(3α2) = k26. Find the value of k.

Solution

Given (x3 - 1) = (xα0) (xα1) (xα2)..........(1)

We see that we have relation in 1(xα0) + 1(xα1) + 1(xα2)

How to get that relation?

If we take the log on equation 1 and then differentiate it we will get the relation 1(xα0) + 1(xα1) + 1(xα2)

Taking log on both sides

log(x31) = log(xα0) + log(xα1) + log(xα2)

Differentiating on both sides

1x31 . 3x2 = 1(xα0) + 1(xα1) + 1(xα2)

Put n = 3

3.32271 = 1(3α0) + 1(3α1) + 1(3α2) = 27(26)

k = 27
