解答

(a)

解法一

思路

展开

由根与系数关系求根的和与两两乘积和,再使用平方和恒等式。

答题过程

For x3+5x2+10x−2=0x^3+5x^2+10x-2=0, Vieta’s formulae give

α+β+γ= −5,αβ+βγ+γα= 10.\begin{align*} \alpha+\beta+\gamma=&\,-5,\\[4mm] \alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha=&\,10. \end{align*}

Hence

α2+β2+γ2= (α+β+γ)2 −2(αβ+βγ+γα)= 25−20=5.\begin{align*} \alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2 =&\,(\alpha+\beta+\gamma)^2\\[4mm] &\,-2(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha)\\[4mm] =&\,25-20=\boxed5. \end{align*}

也可建立以三个原根的平方为根的新三次方程,再读出它们的和。

答题过程

For any original root xx,

x(x2+10)=2−5x2.x(x^2+10)=2-5x^2.

Put y=x2y=x^2 and square this equation:

y(y+10)2= (2−5y)2,y3+20y2+100y= 4−20y+25y2,y3−5y2+120y−4= 0.\begin{align*} y(y+10)^2=&\,(2-5y)^2,\\[4mm] y^3+20y^2+100y=&\,4-20y+25y^2,\\[4mm] y^3-5y^2+120y-4=&\,0. \end{align*}

Its roots are α2,β2,γ2\alpha^2,\beta^2,\gamma^2. Their sum is the negative coefficient of y2y^2, so

α2+β2+γ2=5.\boxed{\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2=5}.

(b)

解法一

思路

展开

展开行列式后,正好出现(a)的平方和与原三次方程的三根乘积。

答题过程

展开

Let the given matrix be M\mathbf M. Expanding along its first row,

det⁡M= (1−γ2)−α(α−βγ) +β(αγ−β)= 1−(α2+β2+γ2)+2αβγ.\begin{align*} \det\mathbf M =&\,(1-\gamma^2)-\alpha(\alpha-\beta\gamma)\\[4mm] &\,+\beta(\alpha\gamma-\beta)\\[4mm] =&\,1-(\alpha^2+\beta^2+\gamma^2)+2\alpha\beta\gamma. \end{align*}

From the original cubic, αβγ=2\alpha\beta\gamma=2, and part (a) gives the square sum as 55. Thus

det⁡M=1−5+2(2)=0.\det\mathbf M=1-5+2(2)=0.

Therefore M is singular\boxed{\mathbf M\text{ is singular}}.
