Consider the following statements in respect of the roots of the equation x^3-8=0 : 1. The roots are non-collinear. 2. The roots lie on a circle of unit radius. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Options
- A1 only
- B2 only
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Correct answer
A. 1 only
Step-by-step solution
aligned & x^3-8=0 & (x-2) (x^2+2 x+4 )=0 & x=2,-1+ 3 i,-1- 3 i aligned So, roots non-collinear and lie on a circle of radius 2 units.
