1 The equation
x3 + x − 1 = 0
√
has roots α , β , γ . Use the relation x = y to show that the equation

y3 + 2y2 + y − 1 = 0
has roots α 2 , β 2 , γ 2 . [2]

Let Sn = α n + β n + γ n .

(i) Write down the value of S2 and show that S4 = 2. [3]

(ii) Find the values of S6 and S8 . [4]

2 The roots of the equation


x3 + px2 + qx + r = 0
β q
are , β , kβ , where p, q, r, k and β are non-zero real constants. Show that β = − . [4]
k p

Deduce that rp3 = q3 . [2]

3 The roots of the cubic equation x3 − 7x2 + 2x − 3 = 0 are α , β , γ . Find the values of
(i) α 2 + β 2 + γ 2 , [2]
(ii) α 3 + β 3 + γ 3 . [3]

4 The cubic equation x3 − 2x2 − 3x + 4 = 0 has roots !, ", ' . Given that c = ! + " + ' , state the value
of c. [1]

Use the substitution y = c − x to find a cubic equation whose roots are ! + ", " + ' , ' + !. [3]
