解法一
思路

先取倒数根,再把其立方记为y;利用一次关系再立方来消去中间变量,避免复数立方根分支问题。

None of the original roots is zero. Put z=1/x. Dividing the original equation by x4 gives
z4+z3+3z+2=0.
Set y=z3=1/x3. Then z(y+3)=−(y+2). Cubing this relation gives
y(y+3)3=−(y+2)3.
Expanding and collecting terms,
0==y(y3+9y2+27y+27)+y3+6y2+12y+8y4+10y3+33y2+39y+8.
The required quartic is therefore
y4+10y3+33y2+39y+8=0.
By Vieta’s formula, the requested sum is −10.

也可先把原方程分成仅含x立方的一边,以及x乘含x立方因子的一边;立方后所有幂次都能用新根表示。

Rearrange the original equation as
3x3+1=−x(2x3+1).
Cubing both sides gives
27x9+27x6+9x3+1=−8x12−12x9−6x6−x3.
Thus
8x12+39x9+33x6+10x3+1=0.
Divide by x12 and put y=1/x3 to obtain
y4+10y3+33y2+39y+8=0.
Its root sum is −10, so
α−3+β−3+γ−3+δ−3=−10.

所求是新四次方程根的平方和,由根和的平方扣掉两倍两两乘积和。

Let the four roots of the quartic in (a) be p,q,r,s. Then
p+q+r+s=pq+pr+ps+qr+qs+rs=−10,33.
Therefore
α−6+β−6+γ−6+δ−6==p2+q2+r2+s2(−10)2−2(33)=34.
