    If \[\alpha +\beta =-2\]and\[{{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{3}}=-56,\] then the quadratic equation whose roots are \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] is

    A)  \[{{x}^{2}}+2x-16=0\]

    B)         \[{{x}^{2}}+2x+15=0\]

    C)        \[~{{x}^{2}}+2x-12=0\]

    D)         \[{{x}^{2}}+2x-\text{ }8=0\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Given that, \[\alpha +\beta =-2\]and \[{{\alpha }^{3}}+{{\beta }^{3}}=-56\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[(\alpha +\beta )({{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}-\alpha \beta )=-56\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}-\alpha \beta =28\] Also,      \[{{(\alpha +\beta )}^{2}}={{(-2)}^{2}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[{{\alpha }^{2}}+{{\beta }^{2}}+2\alpha \beta =4\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[28+3\alpha \beta =4\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\alpha \beta =-8\] \[\therefore \] Required equation is \[{{x}^{2}}+2x-8=0\]
