- D15
Correct answer
B. 13
Step-by-step solution
If , , are the roots of x^3+2 x^2-3 x-1=0 then ⁻²+ ⁻²+ ⁻²= On squaring equation (ii), we get aligned & ^2 ^2+ ^2 ^2+ ^2 ^2+2 ( + + )=9 & ^2 ^2+ ^2 ^2+ ^2 ^2=9-2(1)(-2)=13 aligned Now aligned & ⁻²+ ⁻²+ ⁻²= ^2 ^2+ ^2 ^2+ ^2 ^2 ( )^2 & ⁻²+ ⁻²+ ⁻²= 13 1 =13 aligned
