If the equation x^4+a x^3+b x^2+c x+d=0 has three equal roots, then that root is
Options
- A6 c-a b 8 b-3 a^2
- Ba b-6 c 8 b+3 a^2
- C6 c - ab 3 a ^2-4 ~b
- D6 c-a b 3 a^2-8 b
Correct answer
D. 6 c-a b 3 a^2-8 b
Step-by-step solution
Let , , , be the roots of given equation x^4+a x^3+b x^2+c x+d=0 Hence 3 + =-a, 3 ( + )=b ^2( +3 )=-c, ^3 =d Now consider 6 c-a b= (3 ^2-6 +3 ^2 )....(1) also consider 3 a^2-8 b= (3 ^2-6 +3 ^2 )....(2) dividing equation (i) by equation (2), = 6 c-a b 3 a^2-8 b
