(a)

两个重根代入韦达定理,二次对称和为零。利用d非零排除零根后,根之间成固定比例,代回三根积。
答题过程

Since β=α, Vieta’s formulae give
2α+γ=α2+2αγ=α2γ=−b,0,−d.
As d=0, both α and γ are nonzero. Hence α(α+2γ)=0 implies α=−2γ.
Substituting into the root sum gives −3γ=−b, so
γ=3b,α=−32b.
Using the product,
−d===α2γ94b23b274b3.
Therefore 4b3+27d=0.
(b)
解法一
思路

将上一问两根的表达式代入平方和条件,得到b的二次式;零解与d非零冲突。

Using the expressions in (a),
2α2+γ2==294b2+9b2b2.
Thus b2=3b, giving b=0 or b=3. The case b=0 would give d=0 by (a), which is excluded. Hence
b=3,d=−274(3)3=−4.
