The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given polynomial equation and apply the conditions for it to have three equal roots. Let's denote the polynomial as: \[ f(x) = x^5 - 10a^3 x^2 + b^4 x + c^5 \] ### Step 1: Identify the roots Since the equation has three equal roots, we can denote these roots as \( \alpha \). Therefore, we can express the polynomial as: \[ f(x) = (x - \alpha)^3 (x - \delta)(x - \phi) \] where \( \delta \) and \( \phi \) are the other two roots. ### Step 2: Differentiate the function To find the conditions for the roots, we need to differentiate the function: \[ f'(x) = 5x^4 - 20a^3 x + b^4 \] ### Step 3: Apply the conditions for equal roots For \( f(x) \) to have a root of multiplicity 3 at \( x = \alpha \), we require: 1. \( f(\alpha) = 0 \) 2. \( f'(\alpha) = 0 \) 3. \( f''(\alpha) = 0 \) ### Step 4: Calculate the second derivative Now, we differentiate \( f'(x) \) to find \( f''(x) \): \[ f''(x) = 20x^3 - 20a^3 \] ### Step 5: Set up equations Now we can set up the equations based on the conditions: 1. From \( f'(\alpha) = 0 \): \[ 5\alpha^4 - 20a^3 \alpha + b^4 = 0 \] 2. From \( f''(\alpha) = 0 \): \[ 20\alpha^3 - 20a^3 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ \alpha^3 = a^3 \] Hence, we have: \[ \alpha = a \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( \alpha \) into the first derivative equation Substituting \( \alpha = a \) into the first derivative equation: \[ 5a^4 - 20a^3 a + b^4 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 5a^4 - 20a^4 + b^4 = 0 \] Thus: \[ b^4 = 15a^4 \] ### Step 7: Substitute \( \alpha \) into the original function Now, substitute \( \alpha = a \) into the original function \( f(x) \): \[ f(a) = a^5 - 10a^3 a^2 + b^4 a + c^5 = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ a^5 - 10a^5 + 15a^4 a + c^5 = 0 \] Thus: \[ a^5 - 10a^5 + 15a^5 + c^5 = 0 \] This gives us: \[ 6a^5 + c^5 = 0 \] So, we have: \[ c^5 = -6a^5 \] ### Final Results Thus, the conditions for the polynomial to have three equal roots are: 1. \( b^4 = 15a^4 \) 2. \( c^5 = -6a^5 \)
