If α=1\alpha=1 and β=1+i2\beta=1+i\sqrt{2}, where i=−1i=\sqrt{-1} are two roots of the equation x3+ax2+bx+c=0x^3+ax^2+bx+c=0, a,b,c∈Ra,b,c \in \mathbb{R}, then ∫−11(x3+ax2+bx+c)dx\int_{-1}^{1}(x^3+ax^2+bx+c)dx is equal to:

Options

  1. A−2-2
  2. B−4-4
  3. C−8-8
  4. D−10-10

Correct answer

C. −8-8

Step-by-step solution

Since a,b,c∈Ra, b, c \in \mathbb{R}, the complex roots of the equation x3+ax2+bx+c=0x^3+ax^2+bx+c=0 must occur in conjugate pairs.

Given roots are α=1\alpha = 1 and β=1+i2\beta = 1+i\sqrt{2}.

The third root must be γ=1−i2\gamma = 1-i\sqrt{2}.

The polynomial is given by:

x3+ax2+bx+c=(x−1)(x−(1+i2))(x−(1−i2))x^3+ax^2+bx+c = (x-1)(x-(1+i\sqrt{2}))(x-(1-i\sqrt{2}))

=(x−1)((x−1)2−(i2)2)= (x-1)((x-1)^2 - (i\sqrt{2})^2)

=(x−1)(x2−2x+1+2)= (x-1)(x^2 - 2x + 1 + 2)

=(x−1)(x2−2x+3)= (x-1)(x^2 - 2x + 3)

=x3−3x2+5x−3= x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x - 3

We need to evaluate the integral:

I=∫−11(x3−3x2+5x−3)dxI = \int_{-1}^{1} (x^3 - 3x^2 + 5x - 3) dx

Using the property of definite integrals ∫−aaf(x)dx=0\int_{-a}^{a} f(x) dx = 0 for odd functions and 2∫0af(x)dx2\int_{0}^{a} f(x) dx for even functions:

I=∫−11x3dx−3∫−11x2dx+5∫−11xdx−3∫−111dxI = \int_{-1}^{1} x^3 dx - 3\int_{-1}^{1} x^2 dx + 5\int_{-1}^{1} x dx - 3\int_{-1}^{1} 1 dx

I=0−3(2)∫01x2dx+0−3(2)∫011dxI = 0 - 3(2)\int_{0}^{1} x^2 dx + 0 - 3(2)\int_{0}^{1} 1 dx

I=−6[x33]01−6[x]01I = -6 \left[ \dfrac{x^3}{3} \right]_{0}^{1} - 6 \left[ x \right]_{0}^{1}

I=−6(13)−6(1)I = -6 \left( \dfrac{1}{3} \right) - 6(1)

I=−2−6=−8I = -2 - 6 = -8

Answer: −8-8
