Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(x^3-8 x^2+8 x-8=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha+\beta+\gamma = 2\) \(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha = 4\) \(\alpha\beta\gamma = 1\) New roots are \(y_1 = \beta\gamma + \frac{1}{\alpha}\), \(y_2 = \alpha\beta + \frac{1}{\gamma}\), \(y_3 = \gamma\alpha + \frac{1}{\beta}\). Since \(\alpha\beta\gamma = 1\), then…
