If mm is chosen in the quadratic equation \left({m}^{2} + 1\right){x}^{2} - 3x + {\left({m}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2} = 0$ such that the sum of its roots is greatest, then the absolute difference of the cubes of its roots is:

Options

  1. A434\sqrt{3}
  2. B10510\sqrt{5}
  3. C838\sqrt{3}
  4. D858\sqrt{5}

Correct answer

D. 858\sqrt{5}

Step-by-step solution

Let, the roots of (m2+1)x2−3x+(m2+1)2=0\left({m}^{2} + 1\right){x}^{2} - 3x + {\left({m}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2} = 0 are α\alpha and β\beta

We know that the sum and product of roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0,a≠0a{x}^{2} + bx + c = 0, a \ne 0 are respectively −ba- \dfrac{b}{a} and ca.\dfrac{c}{a} .

∴α+β=3m2+1∴ \alpha + \beta = \dfrac{3}{{m}^{2} + 1} and αβ=(m2+1)2(m2+1)=(m2+1)\alpha\beta = \dfrac{{\left({m}^{2} + 1\right)}^{2}}{\left({m}^{2} + 1\right)} = \left({m}^{2} + 1\right)

∵α+β∵ \alpha + \beta is maximum, ∴m=0∴ m = 0

∴∴ the equation is x2−3x+1=0{x}^{2} - 3x + 1 = 0

And α+β=3,αβ=1\alpha + \beta = 3, \alpha\beta = 1

Now, α3−β3=(α−β)(α2+β2+αβ){\alpha}^{3} - {\beta}^{3} = \left(\alpha - \beta\right)\left({\alpha}^{2} + {\beta}^{2} + \alpha\beta\right)

=(α+β)2−4αβ((α+β)2−αβ)= \sqrt{{\left(\alpha + \beta\right)}^{2} - 4\alpha\beta}\left({\left(\alpha + \beta\right)}^{2} - \alpha\beta\right)

=9−4(9−1)= \sqrt{9 - 4}\left(9 - 1\right)

=85.= 8\sqrt{5} .
