please refer to the above pic
If α , β are roots of the equation x² + x + 1 = 0 then α² + β² = - 1
Given :
α , β are roots of the equation x² + x + 1 = 0
To find :
The value of α² + β²
Solution :
Step 1 of 2 :
Find the sum of the roots and product of roots
Here the given Quadratic equation is
x² + x + 1 = 0
Now the roots are α , β
Sum of the roots
= α + β
= - b/a
= - 1
Product of the roots
= αβ
= c/a
= 1
Step 2 of 2 :
Find the value of α² + β²
α² + β²
= (α + β)² - 2αβ
= ( - 1)² - 2 × 1
= 1 - 2
= - 1
