Find \(\alpha^4+\beta^4\) if \(\alpha, \beta\) are the roots of equation \(x^2+x+1=0\).

  1. A \(\frac{1}{\alpha \beta}\)
  2. B \(\frac{2}{\alpha \beta}\)
  3. C \(\alpha \beta\)
  4. D \(-\alpha \beta\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-\alpha \beta\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The roots of the equation \(x^2+x+1=0\) are \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) and \(\alpha^3=\beta^3=1\) and \(\alpha+\beta+1=0\) \(\{\because \alpha, \beta\) are non-real cube roots of unity \(\}\)…
