hartnn (hartnn):
is that 3x^3 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if a,b,c are roots of \[3x^3-4x^2+7x-23=0\]
determine the value of\[a^2+b^2+c^2\]
hartnn (hartnn):
know the formulas for sum of roots, product of roots...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@surdawi but you understand the question
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no

\[(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ac)\]
hartnn (hartnn):
yeah u'll have a+b+c and ab+bc+ac directly....
hartnn (hartnn):
for an equation Ax^3+Bx^2+Cx+D=0
sum of roots = -B/A
product of roots = -D/A
and product od 2 roots at a time = C/A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
last one always the same
OpenStudy (anonymous):
c/a

hartnn (hartnn):
last one ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
nomatter wich roots
OpenStudy (anonymous):
product of 2 roots at a time = C/A
hartnn (hartnn):
means is a,b,c are roots, ab+bc+ca = -C/A
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay

hartnn (hartnn):
so now first find A,B,C,D...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A=3,B=-4,C=7,D=-23
\[a+b+c=\frac{ 4 }{ 3 }\]
\[ab+bc+ac=-\frac{ 7 }{ 3 }\]
\[abc=\frac{ -23 }{ 3 }\]
i ahve been using this formular unconciously,i never knew it was standard
hartnn (hartnn):
ab+bc+ac = C/A = 7/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[a^2+b^2+c^2=(add)^2-2(product)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay

\[=(4/3)^2-2(7/3)\]
hartnn (hartnn):
that should be it...do u have answers to verify
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no,i'll try to find later,i used to take the long way for this the rules help....great help
