Q.

Let α,β,γ are the real roots of the equation x3+  ax2+  bx+c=0(a,b,cR  and  a0). If the system of equations (in u,  v and w ) given by

αu+βv+γw=0, βu+γv+αw=0, γu+αv+βw=0,

has non trivial solutions, then the value of  a2b is _____

Detailed Solution

Equation x3+ax2+bx+c=0 has roots α,β,γ. Therefore, 
 α+  β+  γ=a αβ+  βγ+  γα=b
Since the given system of equations has non-trivial solutions, we have
|αβγβγαγαβ|=0 or  α3+β3+γ33αβγ=0 or  (α+β+γ)[α2+β2+γ2αββγγα]=0 or  (α+β+γ)[(α+β+γ)23(αβ+βγ+γα)]=0  a[a23b]=0 or  a2/ b  =  3
