Correct answer: D
- Roots of the quadratic
The equation is Its roots are , so by Vieta: Also, since and the discriminant is , we have
- Given sequence
where are integers.
We are given So,
- Compute and
Since satisfy , we can reduce powers: Then Hence,
Therefore, But it is easier to substitute explicit values of .
- Write explicitly
Using we get \alpha^4=3\alpha+2=3\cdot\frac{1+\sqrt5}{2}+2=rac{7+3\sqrt5}{2}, \beta^4=3\beta+2=3\cdot\frac{1-\sqrt5}{2}+2=rac{7-3\sqrt5}{2}.
So Multiply by : Expanding,
- Use the given fact
Since is rational, comparing rational and irrational parts, And Since , we get
- Find
Therefore, the correct option is
