If one real root of the quadratic equation \(81x^2 + kx  + 256 = 0\) is cube of the other root, then a value of \(k\) is

  1. A \(-81\)
  2. B \(100\)
  3. C \(144\)
  4. D \(-300\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-300\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha+\alpha^{3}=-\frac{k}{81}\) \(\alpha^{4}=\frac{256}{81}\) \(\alpha=\pm \frac{4}{3}\) From \((1)\) and \((2)\) \(\frac{4}{3}+\frac{64}{27}=\frac{-k}{81}\) \(\mathrm{K}=-300\)
