Given that alpha and beta are the roots ...

Given that `alpha` and `beta` are the roots of the equation `x^2=x+7` Prove that `(a) 1/alpha=(alpha-1)/7` `(b) alpha^3=8 alpha+7` Find the numerical value of `alpha/beta+beta/alpha`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given equation is, `x^2 = x+7`
`=>x^2-x-7 = 0`
(a) As `alpha ` is root of this equation, `x = alpha` should satisfy this equation.
`alpha^2-alpha-7 = 0`
`=>alpha(alpha-1) = 7`
`=>1/alpha = (alpha-1)/7`

(b) `alpha^2-alpha-7 = 0`
