Correct answer: 20

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Analyze the given polynomials. We are given the polynomial f(x)=x4+ax3+bx2+cf(x) = x^4 + ax^3 + bx^2 + cf(x)=x4+ax3+bx2+c with real coefficients a,b,ca, b, ca,b,c. The derivative of f(x)f(x)f(x) with respect to xxx is f′(x)=4x3+3ax2+2bxf'(x) = 4x^3 + 3ax^2 + 2bxf′(x)=4x3+3ax2+2bx. The second equation given is 4x3+3ax2+2bx=04x^3 + 3ax^2 + 2bx = 04x3+3ax2+2bx=0, which is equivalent to f′(x)=0f'(x) = 0f′(x)=0.

  2. Use the root of f′(x)=0f'(x)=0f′(x)=0 to find coefficients aaa and bbb. We are given that x=i3x = i\sqrt{3}x=i3​ is a root of f′(x)=0f'(x)=0f′(x)=0. Let's substitute this value into the equation: f′(i3)=4(i3)3+3a(i3)2+2b(i3)=0f'(i\sqrt{3}) = 4(i\sqrt{3})^3 + 3a(i\sqrt{3})^2 + 2b(i\sqrt{3}) = 0f′(i3​)=4(i3​)3+3a(i3​)2+2b(i3​)=0 Let's simplify the powers of i3i\sqrt{3}i3​:

    • (i3)2=i2(3)2=−1⋅3=−3(i\sqrt{3})^2 = i^2 (\sqrt{3})^2 = -1 \cdot 3 = -3(i3​)2=i2(3​)2=−1⋅3=−3
    • (i3)3=(i3)2⋅(i3)=−3⋅i3=−3i3(i\sqrt{3})^3 = (i\sqrt{3})^2 \cdot (i\sqrt{3}) = -3 \cdot i\sqrt{3} = -3i\sqrt{3}(i3​)3=(i3​)2⋅(i3​)=−3⋅i3​=−3i3​

    Substituting these back into the equation: 4(−3i3)+3a(−3)+2b(i3)=04(-3i\sqrt{3}) + 3a(-3) + 2b(i\sqrt{3}) = 04(−3i3​)+3a(−3)+2b(i3​)=0 −12i3−9a+2bi3=0-12i\sqrt{3} - 9a + 2bi\sqrt{3} = 0−12i3​−9a+2bi3​=0 Group the real and imaginary parts: (−9a)+i(2b3−123)=0(-9a) + i(2b\sqrt{3} - 12\sqrt{3}) = 0(−9a)+i(2b3​−123​)=0 For this complex number to be zero, both its real and imaginary parts must be zero.

    • Real part: −9a=0  ⟹  a=0-9a = 0 \implies a = 0−9a=0⟹a=0.
    • Imaginary part: 2b3−123=0  ⟹  2b=12  ⟹  b=62b\sqrt{3} - 12\sqrt{3} = 0 \implies 2b = 12 \implies b = 62b3​−123​=0⟹2b=12⟹b=6.

    Alternatively, since the coefficients of f′(x)f'(x)f′(x) are real (4,3a,2b4, 3a, 2b4,3a,2b), if a complex number i3i\sqrt{3}i3​ is a root, its conjugate −i3-i\sqrt{3}−i3​ must also be a root. The equation f′(x)=0f'(x)=0f′(x)=0 can be written as x(4x2+3ax+2b)=0x(4x^2+3ax+2b)=0x(4x2+3ax+2b)=0. The roots are 0,i3,−i30, i\sqrt{3}, -i\sqrt{3}0,i3​,−i3​. The quadratic factor 4x2+3ax+2b4x^2+3ax+2b4x2+3ax+2b has roots i3i\sqrt{3}i3​ and −i3-i\sqrt{3}−i3​. Using Vieta's formulas for the quadratic:

    • Sum of roots: i3+(−i3)=0=−3a4  ⟹  a=0i\sqrt{3} + (-i\sqrt{3}) = 0 = -\frac{3a}{4} \implies a=0i3​+(−i3​)=0=−43a​⟹a=0.
    • Product of roots: (i3)(−i3)=−i2(3)=3=2b4=b2  ⟹  b=6(i\sqrt{3})(-i\sqrt{3}) = -i^2(3) = 3 = \frac{2b}{4} = \frac{b}{2} \implies b=6(i3​)(−i3​)=−i2(3)=3=42b​=2b​⟹b=6.
  3. Use the condition f(1)=−9f(1)=-9f(1)=−9 to find the coefficient ccc. Now that we have a=0a=0a=0 and b=6b=6b=6, the polynomial is f(x)=x4+6x2+cf(x) = x^4 + 6x^2 + cf(x)=x4+6x2+c. We are given f(1)=−9f(1) = -9f(1)=−9. Let's substitute x=1x=1x=1: f(1)=(1)4+6(1)2+c=−9f(1) = (1)^4 + 6(1)^2 + c = -9f(1)=(1)4+6(1)2+c=−9 1+6+c=−91 + 6 + c = -91+6+c=−9 7+c=−97 + c = -97+c=−9 c=−16c = -16c=−16

  4. Find the roots of f(x)=0f(x)=0f(x)=0. The polynomial is f(x)=x4+6x2−16f(x) = x^4 + 6x^2 - 16f(x)=x4+6x2−16. To find the roots, we solve the equation f(x)=0f(x)=0f(x)=0: x4+6x2−16=0x^4 + 6x^2 - 16 = 0x4+6x2−16=0 This is a quadratic equation in terms of x2x^2x2. Let y=x2y = x^2y=x2. The equation becomes: y2+6y−16=0y^2 + 6y - 16 = 0y2+6y−16=0 Factoring the quadratic: (y+8)(y−2)=0(y+8)(y-2) = 0(y+8)(y−2)=0 This gives two possible values for yyy: y=−8y=-8y=−8 or y=2y=2y=2.

    • Case 1: x2=−8  ⟹  x=±−8=±i8=±2i2x^2 = -8 \implies x = \pm \sqrt{-8} = \pm i\sqrt{8} = \pm 2i\sqrt{2}x2=−8⟹x=±−8​=±i8​=±2i2​.
    • Case 2: x2=2  ⟹  x=±2x^2 = 2 \implies x = \pm \sqrt{2}x2=2⟹x=±2​.

    So, the four roots of f(x)=0f(x)=0f(x)=0 are α1=2i2\alpha_1 = 2i\sqrt{2}α1​=2i2​, α2=−2i2\alpha_2 = -2i\sqrt{2}α2​=−2i2​, α3=2\alpha_3 = \sqrt{2}α3​=2​, and α4=−2\alpha_4 = -\sqrt{2}α4​=−2​.

  5. Calculate the required sum. We need to find the value of ∣α1∣2+∣α2∣2+∣α3∣2+∣α4∣2\left|\alpha_1\right|^2+\left|\alpha_2\right|^2+\left|\alpha_3\right|^2+\left|\alpha_4\right|^2∣α1​∣2+∣α2​∣2+∣α3​∣2+∣α4​∣2. Let's calculate the squared magnitude for each root:

    • ∣α1∣2=∣2i2∣2=(22)2=4⋅2=8|\alpha_1|^2 = |2i\sqrt{2}|^2 = (2\sqrt{2})^2 = 4 \cdot 2 = 8∣α1​∣2=∣2i2​∣2=(22​)2=4⋅2=8.
    • ∣α2∣2=∣−2i2∣2=(22)2=4⋅2=8|\alpha_2|^2 = |-2i\sqrt{2}|^2 = (2\sqrt{2})^2 = 4 \cdot 2 = 8∣α2​∣2=∣−2i2​∣2=(22​)2=4⋅2=8.
    • ∣α3∣2=∣2∣2=(2)2=2|\alpha_3|^2 = |\sqrt{2}|^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 = 2∣α3​∣2=∣2​∣2=(2​)2=2.
    • ∣α4∣2=∣−2∣2=(2)2=2|\alpha_4|^2 = |-\sqrt{2}|^2 = (\sqrt{2})^2 = 2∣α4​∣2=∣−2​∣2=(2​)2=2.

    The sum is: 8+8+2+2=208 + 8 + 2 + 2 = 208+8+2+2=20

Thus, the value of ∣α1∣2+∣α2∣2+∣α3∣2+∣α4∣2\left|\alpha_1\right|^2+\left|\alpha_2\right|^2+\left|\alpha_3\right|^2+\left|\alpha_4\right|^2∣α1​∣2+∣α2​∣2+∣α3​∣2+∣α4​∣2 is 20.
