The sum of the cubes of all the roots of the equation

x4−3x3−2x2+3x+1=0{x^4} - 3{x^3} - 2{x^2} + 3x + 1 = 0 is _________.

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

x4−3x3−x2−x2+3x+1=0{x^4} - 3{x^3} - {x^2} - {x^2} + 3x + 1 = 0

(x2−1)(x2−3x−1)=0({x^2} - 1)({x^2} - 3x - 1) = 0

Let the root of x2−3x−1=0{x^2} - 3x - 1 = 0 be α\alpha and β\beta and other two roots of given equation are 1 and −- 1

So sum of cubes of roots

=13+(−1)3+α3+β3= {1^3} + {( - 1)^3} + {\alpha ^3} + {\beta ^3}

=(α+β)3−3αβ(α+β)= {(\alpha + \beta )^3} - 3\alpha \beta (\alpha + \beta )

=(3)3−3(−1)(3)= {(3)^3} - 3( - 1)(3)

=36= 36
