Correct answer: A

  1. The roots α,β\alpha, \betaα,β satisfy 5x2+6x−2=0.5x^2+6x-2=0.5x2+6x−2=0. So each root rrr satisfies 5r2+6r−2=0.5r^2+6r-2=0.5r2+6r−2=0.

  2. Rearranging, 5r2+6r=2.5r^2+6r=2.5r2+6r=2. Multiply both sides by rn−2r^{n-2}rn−2 (for n≥2n\ge 2n≥2): 5rn+6rn−1=2rn−2.5r^n+6r^{n-1}=2r^{n-2}.5rn+6rn−1=2rn−2.

  3. This is true for both roots α\alphaα and β\betaβ. Adding for r=αr=\alphar=α and r=βr=\betar=β, 5(αn+βn)+6(αn−1+βn−1)=2(αn−2+βn−2).5(\alpha^n+\beta^n)+6(\alpha^{n-1}+\beta^{n-1})=2(\alpha^{n-2}+\beta^{n-2}).5(αn+βn)+6(αn−1+βn−1)=2(αn−2+βn−2). Using Sn=αn+βnS_n=\alpha^n+\beta^nSn​=αn+βn, 5Sn+6Sn−1=2Sn−2.5S_n+6S_{n-1}=2S_{n-2}.5Sn​+6Sn−1​=2Sn−2​.

  4. Put n=6n=6n=6: 5S6+6S5=2S4.5S_6+6S_5=2S_4.5S6​+6S5​=2S4​. This matches option A.

  5. Checking the other options:

  • B says 5S6+6S5+2S4=05S_6+6S_5+2S_4=05S6​+6S5​+2S4​=0, but from the recurrence, 5S6+6S5=2S4,5S_6+6S_5=2S_4,5S6​+6S5​=2S4​, so this would give 4S4=04S_4=04S4​=0, not generally true.
  • C and D do not match the derived recurrence.

Therefore the correct option is: A\boxed{A}A​

Comparison with stored answer: Stored correct answer is A, which agrees with the derived result.
