Solve the equation x4−16x3+86x2−176x+105=0 . If two roots being 1 and 7, Find the sum of the square of other two roots.
If 1 and 7 are the roots of the given equation. (x - 1)(x - 7) are the factors of x4 - 16 x3 + 86 x2 - 176x + 105 = 0. Divide x4 - 16 x3 + 86 x2 - 176x + 105 by x2 - 8x + 7 and find the quotient x2+8x+15 x2−8x+7x4−16x3+86x2−176x+105 _x4_+−8x3_−+7x2 −8x3+79x2−176x+105 +−8x3 −+64x2 +−56x 15x2−120x+105 _−15x2+_+120x −+105 0 Quotient is x2 - 8x + 15 = 0 (x - 3) (x - 5) = 0 x = 3, 5 Sum of the square of the square of other two roots = 32 + 52 = 9 + 25 = 34.
