The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( k \) and \( l \) in the cubic equation \( x^3 - 9x^2 + kx + l = 0 \) given that its roots are in arithmetic progression (A.P.) with a common difference of 2. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Define the Roots**: Since the roots are in A.P. with a common difference of 2, we can denote the roots as: \[ a - 2, \quad a, \quad a + 2 \] 2. **Sum of the Roots**: According to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots of the polynomial \( x^3 - 9x^2 + kx + l = 0 \) is equal to the coefficient of \( x^2 \) with a negative sign. Therefore: \[ (a - 2) + a + (a + 2) = -(-9) = 9 \] Simplifying the left side: \[ 3a = 9 \] Thus, we find: \[ a = 3 \] 3. **Finding the Roots**: Now substituting \( a = 3 \) back into the roots: \[ \text{Roots are: } 3 - 2 = 1, \quad 3, \quad 3 + 2 = 5 \] So the roots are \( 1, 3, 5 \). 4. **Forming the Polynomial**: The polynomial can be formed from its roots as follows: \[ (x - 1)(x - 3)(x - 5) \] 5. **Expanding the Polynomial**: First, we expand \( (x - 1)(x - 5) \): \[ (x - 1)(x - 5) = x^2 - 6x + 5 \] Now multiply this result by \( (x - 3) \): \[ (x^2 - 6x + 5)(x - 3) = x^3 - 3x^2 - 6x^2 + 18x + 5x - 15 \] Combining like terms: \[ = x^3 - 9x^2 + 23x - 15 \] 6. **Identifying \( k \) and \( l \)**: From the expanded polynomial \( x^3 - 9x^2 + 23x - 15 \), we can identify: \[ k = 23, \quad l = -15 \] ### Final Answer: Thus, the values of \( k \) and \( l \) are: \[ (k, l) = (23, -15) \]
