If a, b, r, s are roots of x^4+x^3+x^2+x+3=0 Find value of (1+a)(1+b)(1+r)(1+s)
Question
If a, b, r, s are roots of Find value of
Solution
The given equation is a quartic equation, and a, b, r, s are its roots. According to Vieta's formulas, the sum of the roots taken one at a time is -b/a, the sum of the roots taken two at a time is c/a, the sum of the roots taken three at a time is -d/a, and the product of the roots is -e/a.
In this case, the equation is x^4 + x^3 + x^2 + x + 3 = 0. So, a = 1, b = 1, c = 1, d = 1, and e = 3.
The expression (1+a)(1+b)(1+r)(1+s) is the product of the roots of the equation increased by 1.
We can rewrite this expression as (1 - (-a))(1 - (-b))(1 - (-r))(1 - (-s)), which is the product of the roots of the equation x^4 - x^3 + x^2 - x + 1 = 0, increased by 1.
According to Vieta's formulas, the product of the roots of this equation is -e/a = -1/1 = -1.
So, the value of (1+a)(1+b)(1+r)(1+s) is -1.
