𝛼 2 + 𝛽 2 + 𝛾 2 = 16

3
𝑥 − 𝑝𝑥 + 𝑞 = 0 has roots 𝛼, 𝛽 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝛾 ;
𝛼 3 + 𝛽 3 + 𝛾 3 = −9

Applying the properties of the roots and Conditional identities

𝛼+𝛽+𝛾 =0
i. 𝑝 = 𝛼𝛽 + 𝛼𝛾 + 𝛽𝛾
𝛼 2 + 𝛽 2 + 𝛾 2 = 2(𝛼𝛽 + 𝛼𝛾 + 𝛽𝛾)
16 = 2𝑝
𝑝=8
ii. 𝑞 = 𝛼𝛽𝛾
𝛼 3 + 𝛽 3 + 𝛾 3 = −3𝛼𝛽𝛾
−9 = −3𝑞
𝑞=3
4 4 4 1 2 2 2 2
iii. 𝛼 + 𝛽 + 𝛾 = 2 (𝛼 + 𝛽 + 𝛾 )
1
𝛼 4 + 𝛽 4 + 𝛾 4 = (162 )
2
𝛼 4 + 𝛽 4 + 𝛾 4 = 128
