The correct Answer is:
To find the relation between the roots and the coefficients of the cubic equation \(3x^3 - 10x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0\), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given cubic equation is: \[ 3x^3 - 10x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0 \] We can compare this with the general form of a cubic equation: \[ ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d = 0 \] From this comparison, we identify the coefficients: - \(a = 3\) - \(b = -10\) - \(c = 7\) - \(d = 10\) ### Step 2: Use Vieta's formulas Vieta's formulas relate the coefficients of the polynomial to sums and products of its roots. Let the roots of the equation be \(\alpha\), \(\beta\), and \(\gamma\). 1. **Sum of the roots**: \[ \alpha + \beta + \gamma = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-10}{3} = \frac{10}{3} \] 2. **Sum of the products of the roots taken two at a time**: \[ \alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{7}{3} \] 3. **Product of the roots**: \[ \alpha\beta\gamma = -\frac{d}{a} = -\frac{10}{3} \] ### Step 3: Summarize the relations From the above calculations, we have established the following relations between the roots and the coefficients of the cubic equation: 1. \(\alpha + \beta + \gamma = \frac{10}{3}\) 2. \(\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha = \frac{7}{3}\) 3. \(\alpha\beta\gamma = -\frac{10}{3}\) ### Conclusion The relations between the roots and the coefficients of the cubic equation \(3x^3 - 10x^2 + 7x + 10 = 0\) are as follows: - The sum of the roots is \(\frac{10}{3}\). - The sum of the products of the roots taken two at a time is \(\frac{7}{3}\). - The product of the roots is \(-\frac{10}{3}\). ---
