JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 4.2 Quadratic equations and inequations

If the sum of the squares of the reciprocals of the roots \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) of the equation \(3 x^{2}+\lambda x-1=0\) is 15 , then \(6\left(\alpha^{3}+\beta^{3}\right)^{2}\) is equal to

  1. A \(18\)
  2. B \(24\)
  3. C \(36\)
  4. D \(96\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(24\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Here \(\alpha, \beta\) roots of equation \(3 x^{2}+\lambda x-1=0\) \(\alpha+\beta=\frac{-\lambda}{3}, \alpha \beta=\frac{-1}{3}\) \(\frac{1}{\alpha^{2}}+\frac{1}{\beta^{2}}=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}-2 \alpha \beta}{\alpha^{2} \beta^{2}}=15\) \(\lambda^{2}=9\) Now…
