Answer :
Let's solve the problem step by step.
### Part (a)
Given the quadratic equation:
[tex]\[3x^2 - kx - 1 = 0\][/tex]
The roots of this equation are [tex]\(\alpha\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\beta\)[/tex].
By Vieta's formulas:
[tex]\[ \alpha + \beta = \frac{k}{3} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \alpha \beta = -\frac{1}{3} \][/tex]
We need to show that:
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \frac{k^2 + 6}{9} \][/tex]
Using the identity:
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = (\alpha + \beta)^2 - 2\alpha\beta \][/tex]
Substituting the known values:
[tex]\[ (\alpha + \beta)^2 = \left(\frac{k}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{k^2}{9} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ 2\alpha\beta = 2\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) = -\frac{2}{3} \][/tex]
Thus:
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \frac{k^2}{9} - \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) = \frac{k^2}{9} + \frac{2}{3} \][/tex]
Since [tex]\(\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \frac{k^2}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{k^2 + 6}{9} \][/tex]
So, we have shown that:
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \frac{k^2 + 6}{9} \][/tex]
### Part (b)
Given:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = \frac{466}{81} \][/tex]
We use the identity:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = (\alpha^2 + \beta^2)^2 - 2(\alpha\beta)^2 \][/tex]
From part (a):
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \frac{k^2 + 6}{9} \][/tex]
We'll square this expression and add the term involving [tex]\((\alpha\beta)^2\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (\alpha^2 + \beta^2)^2 = \left(\frac{k^2 + 6}{9}\right)^2 = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2}{81} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (\alpha\beta)^2 = \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{9} \][/tex]
Thus:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2}{81} - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{9} \][/tex]
Simplify [tex]\(2 \cdot \frac{1}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2 \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \frac{2}{9} = \frac{18}{81} \][/tex]
So we have:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2}{81} - \frac{18}{81} = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2 - 18}{81} \][/tex]
Given:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = \frac{466}{81} \][/tex]
Set up the equation:
[tex]\[ \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2 - 18}{81} = \frac{466}{81} \][/tex]
Eliminate the denominators:
[tex]\[ (k^2 + 6)^2 - 18 = 466 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (k^2 + 6)^2 = 484 \][/tex]
Take the square root of both sides:
[tex]\[ k^2 + 6 = \pm 22 \][/tex]
Since [tex]\(k\)[/tex] is a positive integer, we consider:
[tex]\[ k^2 + 6 = 22 \][/tex]
Thus:
[tex]\[ k^2 = 16 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ k = 4 \][/tex]
So the value of [tex]\(k\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ k = 4 \][/tex]
### Part (c)
We need to form an equation with roots [tex]\(\frac{\alpha^3 + \beta}{\beta}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{\beta^3 + \alpha}{\alpha}\)[/tex].
First, let's simplify the expressions:
[tex]\[ \frac{\alpha^3 + \beta}{\beta} = \alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\beta} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \frac{\beta^3 + \alpha}{\alpha} = \beta^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha} \][/tex]
Next, let's find the sum and product of these roots. Using Vieta's formulas again, we find:
[tex]\[ \alpha + \beta = \frac{k}{3} = \frac{4}{3} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ \alpha \beta = -\frac{1}{3} \][/tex]
Calculate:
[tex]\[ 1/\alpha + 1/\beta = \frac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha \beta} = \frac{\frac{4}{3}}{-\frac{1}{3}} = -4 \][/tex]
Simplify the sum of the roots:
[tex]\[ (\alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\beta}) + (\beta^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha}) = \alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} = \frac{k^2 + 6}{9} - 4 = \frac{16 + 6}{9} - 4 = \frac{22}{9} - 4 \][/tex]
Convert [tex]\(-4\)[/tex] to a fraction:
[tex]\[ -4 = -\frac{36}{9} \][/tex]
Thus:
[tex]\[ \frac{\alpha^3 + \beta}{\beta} + \frac{\beta^3 + \alpha}{\alpha} = \frac{22}{9} - \frac{36}{9} = -\frac{14}{9} \][/tex]
Calculate the product of the roots:
[tex]\[ (\alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\beta}) (\beta^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha}) = \alpha^2 \beta^2 + \alpha^2 \frac{1}{\alpha} + \beta^2 \frac{1}{\beta} + \frac{1}{\alpha \beta} = \alpha^2 \beta^2 + \alpha + \beta + \frac{1}{\alpha \beta} \][/tex]
Using:
[tex]\[ (\alpha \beta)^2 = (\frac{-1}{3})^2 = \frac{1}{9} \quad \ & \ \ 1/\alpha \beta = -3 \quad\alpha \beta = -1/3 \][/tex]
And since [tex]\( \alpha + \beta = \frac{4}{3} \)[/tex], we get:
[tex]\[ = \frac{1}{9} + \frac{4}{3} - 3 \][/tex]
Simplify fractions:
[tex]\(\frac{4}{3}-3\)[/tex]:
\frac{4}{3}\quad3\10}{3}

[tex]\[ 2\alpha\beta = 2\left(-\frac{1}{3}\right) = -\frac{2}{3} \][/tex]
Thus:
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \frac{k^2}{9} - \left(-\frac{2}{3}\right) = \frac{k^2}{9} + \frac{2}{3} \][/tex]
Since [tex]\(\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \alpha^2 + \beta^2 = \frac{k^2}{9} + \frac{6}{9} = \frac{k^2 + 6}{9} \][/tex]
So, we have shown that:

[tex]\[ (\alpha^2 + \beta^2)^2 = \left(\frac{k^2 + 6}{9}\right)^2 = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2}{81} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ (\alpha\beta)^2 = \left(-\frac{1}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{9} \][/tex]
Thus:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2}{81} - 2 \cdot \frac{1}{9} \][/tex]
Simplify [tex]\(2 \cdot \frac{1}{9}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 2 \cdot \frac{1}{9} = \frac{2}{9} = \frac{18}{81} \][/tex]
So we have:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2}{81} - \frac{18}{81} = \frac{(k^2 + 6)^2 - 18}{81} \][/tex]
Given:
[tex]\[ \alpha^4 + \beta^4 = \frac{466}{81} \][/tex]
Set up the equation:

Thus:
[tex]\[ k^2 = 16 \][/tex]
[tex]\[ k = 4 \][/tex]
So the value of [tex]\(k\)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ k = 4 \][/tex]

Convert [tex]\(-4\)[/tex] to a fraction:
[tex]\[ -4 = -\frac{36}{9} \][/tex]
Thus:
[tex]\[ \frac{\alpha^3 + \beta}{\beta} + \frac{\beta^3 + \alpha}{\alpha} = \frac{22}{9} - \frac{36}{9} = -\frac{14}{9} \][/tex]
Calculate the product of the roots:
[tex]\[ (\alpha^2 + \frac{1}{\beta}) (\beta^2 + \frac{1}{\alpha}) = \alpha^2 \beta^2 + \alpha^2 \frac{1}{\alpha} + \beta^2 \frac{1}{\beta} + \frac{1}{\alpha \beta} = \alpha^2 \beta^2 + \alpha + \beta + \frac{1}{\alpha \beta} \][/tex]
Using:
[tex]\[ (\alpha \beta)^2 = (\frac{-1}{3})^2 = \frac{1}{9} \quad \ & \ \ 1/\alpha \beta = -3 \quad\alpha \beta = -1/3 \][/tex]
And since [tex]\( \alpha + \beta = \frac{4}{3} \)[/tex], we get:
