Solution

The roots of the given cubic equation are α, β, and γ. We know that the sum of the roots taken one at a time, the sum of the roots taken two at a time, and the sum of the roots taken three at a time are given by the coefficients of the equation.

For the equation x^3 - 4x^2 + 3x + 1 = 0, we have:

  1. α + β + γ = 4 (from the coefficient of x^2)
  2. αβ + βγ + γα = 3 (from the coefficient of x)
  3. αβγ = -1 (from the constant term)

We want to find the cubic equation whose roots are α^2, β^2, and γ^2. Let's denote these roots as a, b, and c respectively. We know that:

  1. a + b + c = α^2 + β^2 + γ^2
  2. ab + bc + ca = α^2β^2 + β^2γ^2 + γ^2α^2
  3. abc = α^2β^2γ^2

We can find these values using the equations from the original cubic equation:

  1. α^2 + β^2 + γ^2 = (α + β + γ)^2 - 2(αβ + βγ + γα) = 4^2 - 2*3 = 10
  2. α^2β^2 + β^2γ^2 + γ^2α^2 = (αβγ)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1
  3. α^2β^2γ^2 = (αβγ)^2 = (-1)^2 = 1

So, the cubic equation with roots α^2, β^2, and γ^2 is x^3 - 10x^2 + x - 1 = 0.
