positive
negative
real
imaginary
The quadratic equation whose roots are three times the roots of 3ax2 + 3bx + c = 0 is
ax2 + 3bx + 3c = 0
ax2 + 3bx + c
9ax2 + 9bx + c
ax2 + bx + 3c
Find the values of 'a' for which the expression x2 - (3a - 1)x + 2a2 + 2a - 11 is always positive
The value of (1 - w + w2)5 + (1 + w - w2)5, where w and w2 are the complex cube roots of unity, is
0
32w
- 32

D.
32
(1 - w + w2)5 + (1 + w - w2)5
= (- w - w)5 + (- w2 - w2)5
= (- 2w)5 + (- 2w)5
= - 25(w5 + w10)
= - 32(w2 + w)
= 32
