The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the value of \((\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1)\) given that \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are the zeroes of the polynomial \(f(x) = x^2 - p(x + 1) - c\). ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Identify the Polynomial**: The polynomial is given as: \[ f(x) = x^2 - p(x + 1) - c \] We can rewrite this as: \[ f(x) = x^2 - px - p - c \] 2. **Identify the Coefficients**: From the polynomial \(f(x) = x^2 - px - (p + c)\), we can identify the coefficients: - Coefficient of \(x^2\) is \(1\) - Coefficient of \(x\) is \(-p\) - Constant term is \(-(p + c)\) 3. **Use Vieta's Formulas**: According to Vieta's formulas: - The sum of the roots \(\alpha + \beta\) is given by: \[ \alpha + \beta = -\frac{\text{Coefficient of } x}{\text{Coefficient of } x^2} = -\frac{-p}{1} = p \] - The product of the roots \(\alpha \beta\) is given by: \[ \alpha \beta = \frac{\text{Constant term}}{\text{Coefficient of } x^2} = \frac{-(p + c)}{1} = - (p + c) \] 4. **Calculate \((\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1)\)**: We can expand \((\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1)\): \[ (\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1) = \alpha \beta + \alpha + \beta + 1 \] Substituting the values from Vieta's formulas: \[ = \alpha \beta + (\alpha + \beta) + 1 \] \[ = - (p + c) + p + 1 \] \[ = -p - c + p + 1 \] \[ = -c + 1 \] 5. **Final Result**: Therefore, the value of \((\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1)\) is: \[ = 1 - c \] ### Conclusion: The final answer is: \[ (\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1) = 1 - c \]
