If x+y+z=4,x2+y2+z2=14 and x3+y3+z3=34, then the number of ordered triplet solution (x, y, z) is given by
6
Consider a polynomial P(t)=t3+at2+bt+c having roots x, y, z
Clearly a = - 4, b = 1 has roots x, y, z
∴t3−4t2+t+c=0 has roots x, y, z
⇒(x3+y3+z3)−4(x2+y2+z2)+(x+y+z)+3c=0
⇒c=6
∴P(t)=(t+1)(t−2)(t−3)
