The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we start by analyzing the given cubic equations and their roots. ### Step 1: Define the roots of the equations Let the roots of the first equation \( x^3 + 5x^2 + px + q = 0 \) be \( \alpha_1, \beta_1, \gamma_1 \). Let the roots of the second equation \( x^3 + 7x^2 + px + r = 0 \) be \( \alpha_1, \beta_1, \gamma_2 \). Here, \( \alpha_1 \) and \( \beta_1 \) are the common roots, and \( \gamma_1 \) and \( \gamma_2 \) are the third roots of the respective equations. ### Step 2: Use Vieta's formulas From Vieta's formulas, we know: - For the first equation: \[ \alpha_1 + \beta_1 + \gamma_1 = -5 \] - For the second equation: \[ \alpha_1 + \beta_1 + \gamma_2 = -7 \] ### Step 3: Express \( \gamma_1 \) and \( \gamma_2 \) in terms of \( \alpha_1 \) and \( \beta_1 \) Since \( \alpha_1 + \beta_1 \) is common in both equations, we can denote: \[ S = \alpha_1 + \beta_1 \] Thus, we can rewrite the equations as: - From the first equation: \[ S + \gamma_1 = -5 \implies \gamma_1 = -5 - S \] - From the second equation: \[ S + \gamma_2 = -7 \implies \gamma_2 = -7 - S \] ### Step 4: Find \( \gamma_1 + \gamma_2 \) Now, we can find \( \gamma_1 + \gamma_2 \): \[ \gamma_1 + \gamma_2 = (-5 - S) + (-7 - S) = -12 - 2S \] ### Step 5: Find \( S \) From the first equation, we know: \[ S = \alpha_1 + \beta_1 \] Since \( S \) is not given directly, we can use the fact that the sum of the roots \( \alpha_1 + \beta_1 \) must equal \( 0 \) (as derived from the subtraction of the two equations). Therefore, we can conclude: \[ S = 0 \] ### Step 6: Substitute \( S \) back into the equation for \( \gamma_1 + \gamma_2 \) Substituting \( S = 0 \) into the equation for \( \gamma_1 + \gamma_2 \): \[ \gamma_1 + \gamma_2 = -12 - 2(0) = -12 \] ### Step 7: Find the absolute value Finally, we need to find the absolute value: \[ |\gamma_1 + \gamma_2| = |-12| = 12 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{12} \]
