Let `a,` `b` and `c` be three real numbers satisfying `[a,b,c][(1,9,7),(8,2,7),(7,3,7)]=[0,0,0]`Let b=6, with a and c satisfying (E). If alpha and beta are the roots of the quadratic equation `ax^2+bx+c=0` then `sum_(n=0)^oo (1/alpha+1/beta)^n` is

A

6

B

7

C

`6/7`

D

`oo`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`ax^(2)+bx+c=0`
`implies x^(2)+6x-7=0`
`implies alpha=1, beta=-7`
`sum_(n=0)^(oo) (1/alpha+1/beta)^(n)= sum_(n=0)^(oo) (1/1-1/7)^(n)`
`=sum_(n=0)^(oo) (6/7)^(n)`
`=1/(1-6/7)=7`
