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

Let \(\alpha, \beta\) be the roots of the equation \(x^2-x+2=0\) with \(\operatorname{Im}(\alpha)>\operatorname{Im}(\beta)\). Then \(\alpha^6+\alpha^4+\beta^4-5 \alpha^2\) is equal to

  1. A \(45\)
  2. B \(47\)
  3. C \(13\)
  4. D \(36\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(13\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha^6+\alpha^4+\beta^4-5 \alpha^2 \) \( =\alpha^4(\alpha-2)+\alpha^4-5 \alpha^2+(\beta-2)^2 \) \( =\alpha^5-\alpha^4-5 \alpha^2+\beta^2-4 \beta+4 \) \( =\alpha^3(\alpha-2)-\alpha^4-5 \alpha^2+\beta-2-4 \beta+4 \) \( =-2 \alpha^3-5 \alpha^2-3 \beta+2 \)…
