Given :
α, β are the zeroes of x² - px + q
To find :
The value of α³β³ + α²β²
Solution :
Comparing x² - px + q with ax² + bx + c we get,
- a = 1
- b = - p
- c = q
We know that
Product of zeroes = αβ = c / a = q / 1 = q
Now, α³β³ + α²β²
= ( αβ )³ + ( αβ )²
= ( q )³ + ( q ) ²
= q³ + q²
Therefore the value α³β³ + α²β² is q³ + q²
