Options

A. `2`
B. `-(10)/(3)`
C. `-2`
D. `(10)/(3)`

Explanation

To solve the problem, we need to find the possible value of \( \alpha \beta \) given the equations:

1. \( \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = 5 \)
2. \( 3(\alpha^5 + \beta^5) = 11(\alpha^3 + \beta^3) \)

### Step 1: Rewrite the second equation
We can express the second equation in terms of \( \alpha^5 + \beta^5 \) and \( \alpha^3 + \beta^3 \):

\[ \alpha^5 + \beta^5 = \frac{11}{3}(\alpha^3 + \beta^3) \]

### Step 2: Use the identity for powers
We can use the identity for the sum of powers:

\[ \alpha^5 + \beta^5 = (\alpha + \beta)(\alpha^4 + \beta^4) - \alpha \beta (\alpha^3 + \beta^3) \]

And for \( \alpha^3 + \beta^3 \):

\[ \alpha^3 + \beta^3 = (\alpha + \beta)(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 - \alpha \beta) \]

### Step 3: Substitute and simplify
Let \( s = \alpha + \beta \) and \( p = \alpha \beta \). Then we have:

1. \( \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = s^2 - 2p = 5 \)
2. \( \alpha^3 + \beta^3 = s(5 - p) \)
3. \( \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = (\alpha^2 + \beta^2)^2 - 2(\alpha \beta)^2 = 5^2 - 2p^2 = 25 - 2p^2 \)

Substituting these into the equation for \( \alpha^5 + \beta^5 \):

\[ \alpha^5 + \beta^5 = s(25 - 2p^2) - p(s(5 - p)) \]

### Step 4: Set up the equation
Now substituting into the equation \( 3(\alpha^5 + \beta^5) = 11(\alpha^3 + \beta^3) \):

\[ 3\left[s(25 - 2p^2) - ps(5 - p)\right] = 11s(5 - p) \]

### Step 5: Simplify the equation
Expanding both sides gives:

\[ 3s(25 - 2p^2) - 3ps(5 - p) = 55s - 11ps \]

### Step 6: Collect like terms
Rearranging gives:

\[ 3s(25 - 2p^2) - 55s + 3ps(5 - p) - 11ps = 0 \]

### Step 7: Factor out \( s \)
Factoring out \( s \) (assuming \( s \neq 0 \)) gives:

\[ s\left(3(25 - 2p^2) - 55 + 3p(5 - p) - 11p\right) = 0 \]

### Step 8: Solve for \( p \)
Setting the expression in parentheses to zero:

\[ 3(25 - 2p^2) - 55 + 3p(5 - p) - 11p = 0 \]

### Step 9: Solve the quadratic equation
This simplifies to a quadratic equation in terms of \( p \):

\[ -6p^2 + 4p - 5 = 0 \]

### Step 10: Use the quadratic formula
Using the quadratic formula \( p = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \):

\[ p = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{4^2 - 4 \cdot (-6) \cdot (-5)}}{2 \cdot (-6)} \]

Calculating the discriminant:

\[ p = \frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16 - 120}}{-12} \]

### Step 11: Evaluate the discriminant
Since \( 16 - 120 < 0 \), we have no real solutions for \( p \) from this equation.

### Step 12: Check possible values
From the earlier steps, we can check the values \( p = 2 \) and \( p = -\frac{10}{3} \) derived from the quadratic.

### Conclusion
Since \( p = \alpha \beta \) must be real, we discard \( p = -\frac{10}{3} \) as it leads to a negative square for \( \alpha + \beta \). Thus, the only possible value of \( \alpha \beta \) is:

\[ \boxed{2} \]
