` alpha_(3) (a , b ne 0)`. Then find the equation whose roots are
`(alpha_(1)alpha_(2)+alpha_(2)alpha_(3))/(alpha_(1)alpha_(2)alpha_(3)), (alpha_(2)alpha_(3)+alpha_(3)alpha_(1))/(alpha_(1)alpha_(2)alpha_(3)), (alpha_(1)alpha_(3)+alpha_(1)alpha_(2))/(alpha_(1)alpha_(2)alpha_(3)) `.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equation whose roots are given by: 1. \(\frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 + \alpha_2 \alpha_3}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}\) 2. \(\frac{\alpha_2 \alpha_3 + \alpha_3 \alpha_1}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}\) 3. \(\frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_3 + \alpha_1 \alpha_2}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}\) where \(\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \alpha_3\) are the roots of the equation \(x^3 + ax^2 + b = 0\). ### Step 1: Identify the relationships among the roots From Vieta's formulas for the polynomial \(x^3 + ax^2 + b = 0\), we know: - \(\alpha_1 + \alpha_2 + \alpha_3 = -a\) - \(\alpha_1 \alpha_2 + \alpha_2 \alpha_3 + \alpha_3 \alpha_1 = 0\) (since the coefficient of \(x\) is 0) - \(\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3 = -b\) ### Step 2: Calculate the new roots Using the relationships from Vieta's formulas, we can simplify the new roots: 1. For the first root: \[ \frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 + \alpha_2 \alpha_3}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3} = \frac{-\alpha_3}{-b} = \frac{\alpha_3}{b} \] 2. For the second root: \[ \frac{\alpha_2 \alpha_3 + \alpha_3 \alpha_1}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3} = \frac{-\alpha_1}{-b} = \frac{\alpha_1}{b} \] 3. For the third root: \[ \frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_3 + \alpha_1 \alpha_2}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3} = \frac{-\alpha_2}{-b} = \frac{\alpha_2}{b} \] Thus, the new roots can be expressed as: - \(r_1 = \frac{\alpha_1}{b}\) - \(r_2 = \frac{\alpha_2}{b}\) - \(r_3 = \frac{\alpha_3}{b}\) ### Step 3: Form the new polynomial The new polynomial whose roots are \(r_1, r_2, r_3\) can be found using Vieta's relations again: - The sum of the roots: \[ r_1 + r_2 + r_3 = \frac{\alpha_1 + \alpha_2 + \alpha_3}{b} = \frac{-a}{b} \] - The product of the roots: \[ r_1 r_2 r_3 = \frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}{b^3} = \frac{-b}{b^3} = -\frac{1}{b^2} \] - The sum of the products of the roots taken two at a time: \[ r_1 r_2 + r_2 r_3 + r_3 r_1 = \frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 + \alpha_2 \alpha_3 + \alpha_3 \alpha_1}{b^2} = \frac{0}{b^2} = 0 \] ### Step 4: Write the polynomial Using the above results, the polynomial can be expressed as: \[ x^3 - \left(\frac{-a}{b}\right)x^2 + 0 \cdot x - \left(-\frac{1}{b^2}\right) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ x^3 + \frac{a}{b}x^2 + \frac{1}{b^2} = 0 \] Multiplying through by \(b^2\) to eliminate the fractions gives: \[ b^2 x^3 + ab x^2 + 1 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The required equation whose roots are \(\frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 + \alpha_2 \alpha_3}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}, \frac{\alpha_2 \alpha_3 + \alpha_3 \alpha_1}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}, \frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_3 + \alpha_1 \alpha_2}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}\) is: \[ b^2 x^3 + ab x^2 + 1 = 0 \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the equation whose roots are given by: 1. \(\frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 + \alpha_2 \alpha_3}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}\) 2. \(\frac{\alpha_2 \alpha_3 + \alpha_3 \alpha_1}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}\) 3. \(\frac{\alpha_1 \alpha_3 + \alpha_1 \alpha_2}{\alpha_1 \alpha_2 \alpha_3}\) where \(\alpha_1, \alpha_2, \alpha_3\) are the roots of the equation \(x^3 + ax^2 + b = 0\). ...
