The correct Answer is:
To find a cubic equation in which each root is greater by unity than a root of the given equation \( x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 3 = 0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the original function Let \( f(x) = x^3 - 5x^2 + 6x - 3 \). ### Step 2: Substitute the new variable We want to find a new function \( g(y) \) such that the roots of \( g(y) = 0 \) are each 1 greater than the roots of \( f(x) = 0 \). To do this, we substitute \( x = y - 1 \) into \( f(x) \). ### Step 3: Substitute \( x = y - 1 \) into \( f(x) \) Now, we calculate \( f(y - 1) \): \[ f(y - 1) = (y - 1)^3 - 5(y - 1)^2 + 6(y - 1) - 3 \] ### Step 4: Expand \( f(y - 1) \) Now we expand each term: 1. \( (y - 1)^3 = y^3 - 3y^2 + 3y - 1 \) 2. \( -5(y - 1)^2 = -5(y^2 - 2y + 1) = -5y^2 + 10y - 5 \) 3. \( 6(y - 1) = 6y - 6 \) Combining these, we have: \[ f(y - 1) = (y^3 - 3y^2 + 3y - 1) + (-5y^2 + 10y - 5) + (6y - 6) - 3 \] ### Step 5: Combine like terms Now, we combine all the terms: \[ f(y - 1) = y^3 - 3y^2 - 5y^2 + 3y + 10y + 6y - 1 - 5 - 6 - 3 \] \[ = y^3 - 8y^2 + 19y - 15 \] ### Step 6: Write the final equation Thus, we have the cubic equation: \[ y^3 - 8y^2 + 19y - 15 = 0 \] ### Step 7: Replace \( y \) with \( p \) To match the standard form, we replace \( y \) with \( p \): \[ p^3 - 8p^2 + 19p - 15 = 0 \] ### Conclusion The required cubic equation is: \[ p^3 - 8p^2 + 19p - 15 = 0 \]
