The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem where one root of the quadratic equation \(x^2 + px + q = 0\) is the square of the other root, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the Roots Let the roots of the equation be \(\alpha\) and \(\alpha^2\), where \(\alpha\) is one root and \(\alpha^2\) is the square of the other root. ### Step 2: Use the Sum of Roots According to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots of the equation \(x^2 + px + q = 0\) is given by: \[ \alpha + \alpha^2 = -p \] ### Step 3: Use the Product of Roots Similarly, the product of the roots is given by: \[ \alpha \cdot \alpha^2 = q \] This simplifies to: \[ \alpha^3 = q \] ### Step 4: Substitute for \(\alpha\) From the product of roots, we can express \(\alpha\) in terms of \(q\): \[ \alpha = \sqrt[3]{q} \] ### Step 5: Substitute \(\alpha\) into the Sum of Roots Equation Now substitute \(\alpha = \sqrt[3]{q}\) into the sum of roots equation: \[ \sqrt[3]{q} + \left(\sqrt[3]{q}\right)^2 = -p \] This simplifies to: \[ \sqrt[3]{q} + \frac{q^{2/3}}{1} = -p \] ### Step 6: Clear the Cube Root To eliminate the cube root, we can cube both sides of the equation. However, it is more straightforward to rearrange the equation: \[ \sqrt[3]{q} + q^{2/3} = -p \] ### Step 7: Cube Both Sides Cubing both sides leads to: \[ \left(\sqrt[3]{q} + q^{2/3}\right)^3 = (-p)^3 \] ### Step 8: Expand the Left Side Using the binomial expansion: \[ a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a + b) = -p^3 \] where \(a = \sqrt[3]{q}\) and \(b = q^{2/3}\). ### Step 9: Substitute Back Substituting \(a\) and \(b\) back into the equation yields: \[ q + q^2 + 3\left(\sqrt[3]{q}\right)\left(q^{2/3}\right)(-\p) = -p^3 \] ### Step 10: Rearranging Rearranging gives us a polynomial in terms of \(p\) and \(q\): \[ q^2 + q - p^3 - 3pq = 0 \] ### Final Result The relationship between \(p\) and \(q\) can be expressed as: \[ 3p - 1 + q^2 = 0 \]
