If one root of the quadratic equation \( \Large ax^{2}+bx+c=0 \) is equal to nth power of the other root, then the value of \( \Large \left(ac^{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{n+1}} + \left(a^{n}c\right)^{\frac{1}{n+1}} \) is equal to
A) b
B) -b
C) \( \Large b^{1/n+1} \)
D) \( \Large -b^{1/n+1} \)
Correct answer:
B) -b
Description for Correct answer:
Let \( \Large a, a^{n} \) be the roots of equation \( \Large ax^{2}+bx+c=0 \)
then \( \Large a+a^{n}=\frac{-b}{a} and\ a.a^{n}=\frac{c}{a} => a^{n+1}=\frac{c}{a} \)
Eliminating \( \Large \alpha \), we get
\( \Large \left(\frac{c}{a}\right)^{\frac{1}{n+1}}+ \left(\frac{c}{a}\right)^{\frac{n}{n+1}} =-\frac{b}{a} \)
=> \( \Large a.a^{-\frac{1}{n+1}\frac{1}{c^{n+1}}}+a.a^{-\frac{n}{n+1}\frac{n}{n+1}}=-b \)
=> \( \Large \left(a^{n}c\right)^{\frac{1}{n+1}}+ \left(ac^{n}\right)^{\frac{1}{n+1}}=-b \)
