If x^3 + pX + q =0 has two equal roots then find 4p^3+27q^2

Open in App
Solution

Answer:-
suppo
se α is the double root of x3+px+q=0

then sum of roots of x3+px+q=0 is given by -1* coefficient of x2

let β be the thir root of the given equation

then 2α+β=coefficien -1*0=0

so β=-2α

Double sum of roots of x3+px+q=0 is given by coefficient of x

so α2 +αβ+βα=p

But β=-2α

so α2 -4α2=p

-3α2 =p

-108α6=4p3-----1

Product of roots of given equation is given by -1*constant term

so α2 *-2α=-q

3=q

108α6=27q2---2

Adding eq 1 and eq 2

4p3 + 27q2=0

ALL THE best
