Let p and q are roots of x^2+x+3=0 find the value of p^33 + q^33

OpenStudy (anonymous):

use binomial theorem and then use the expression for sum of the roots and the product of the roots for the quadratic. i think this should work out,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u give specific explaination of it, what like binomial do u mean ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why not just use the formula to find the roots then sub in the values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the quadratic equation formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-b(+-)root(b^2-4ac))/2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no the sum of the roots is given by -b/a and product by c/a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea, i know the quadratic equation formula.. but i dont think it will work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try using eulers substitution as the roots are complex..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmm... yea, just look from the discriminant value it obvious, the roots are complexs
