Ifαandβare the distinct roots of the equationx2+314x+312=0, then the value ofα96α12-1+β96β12-1is equal to:

Options:

Answer:
C
Solution:

We have,

x2+314x+312=0

Since, α is the root, therefore α2+3=-314·α

On squaring, both sides we get

α4+23α2+3=3α2

α4+3=-3α2

On squaring, both sides we get

α8+6α4+9=3α4

α8=-9-3α4

Multiply by α4, we get

α12=-9α4-3α8

 α12=-9α4-3-9-3α4

α12=27

α128=278

α96=324

Similarly,

β96=324

 α96α12-1+β96β12-1=324+27+27-2=324×52
