The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given cubic equation and its roots. The equation is: \[ x^3 - ax^2 + bx - c = 0 \] where \( a, b, c \) are rational numbers and \( a \neq 1 \). The roots of the equation are given as \( x_1, x_2, \) and \( x_1 x_2 \). ### Step 1: Sum of the Roots According to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots of a cubic equation \( x^3 + px^2 + qx + r = 0 \) is given by: \[ x_1 + x_2 + x_1 x_2 = a \] ### Step 2: Sum of the Products of the Roots Taken Two at a Time The sum of the products of the roots taken two at a time is given by: \[ x_1 x_2 + x_1 (x_1 x_2) + x_2 (x_1 x_2) = b \] This can be simplified as: \[ x_1 x_2 + x_1^2 x_2 + x_2^2 x_1 = b \] ### Step 3: Product of the Roots The product of the roots taken three at a time is given by: \[ x_1 x_2 (x_1 x_2) = c \] This simplifies to: \[ (x_1 x_2)^2 = c \] ### Step 4: Finding the Expression We need to find the value of the expression: \[ x_1 x_2 \left( \frac{a + 1}{b + c} \right) \] ### Step 5: Substitute Values From our earlier steps, we can substitute the values of \( a, b, \) and \( c \): 1. \( a = x_1 + x_2 + x_1 x_2 \) 2. \( b = x_1 x_2 + x_1^2 x_2 + x_2^2 x_1 \) 3. \( c = (x_1 x_2)^2 \) Now substituting these into the expression: \[ x_1 x_2 \left( \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + x_1 x_2) + 1}{(x_1 x_2 + x_1^2 x_2 + x_2^2 x_1) + (x_1 x_2)^2} \right) \] ### Step 6: Simplifying the Denominator The denominator can be simplified as: \[ b + c = (x_1 x_2 + x_1^2 x_2 + x_2^2 x_1) + (x_1 x_2)^2 \] ### Step 7: Factorization Now, we can factor out \( x_1 x_2 \) from the numerator and denominator: \[ x_1 x_2 \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_1 x_2 + 1}{x_1 x_2 + x_1^2 x_2 + x_2^2 x_1 + (x_1 x_2)^2} \right) \] ### Step 8: Final Calculation After simplification, we find that: \[ \frac{x_1 + x_2 + x_1 x_2 + 1}{x_1 x_2 + x_1^2 x_2 + x_2^2 x_1 + (x_1 x_2)^2} = 1 \] Thus, the final value of the expression is: \[ x_1 x_2 \cdot 1 = x_1 x_2 \] ### Conclusion The final answer is: \[ \boxed{1} \]
