Correct answer: C
- Use Vieta’s formulas for the first quadratic
Given that are roots of we have
- Use the condition on reciprocals
Now are roots of For this quadratic, sum and product of roots are
But Hence
Also, which agrees with .
- Simplify the required expression
We need to find
Since , we get
Substitute these into each factor:
Therefore,
Since ,
=\frac{9\cdot 2}{16}(2\alpha-\beta)(2\beta-\alpha) =\frac98(2\alpha-\beta)(2\beta-\alpha).$$ Now expand: $$ (2\alpha-\beta)(2\beta-\alpha)=4\alpha\beta-2\alpha^2-2\beta^2+\alpha\beta =5\alpha\beta-2(\alpha^2+\beta^2). $$ Using $$\alpha^2+\beta^2=(\alpha+\beta)^2-2\alpha\beta=p^2-4,$$ because $\alpha+\beta=-p$ and $\alpha\beta=2$. So, $$ (2\alpha-\beta)(2\beta-\alpha)=5(2)-2(p^2-4)=10-2p^2+8=18-2p^2=2(9-p^2). $$ Hence, $$E=\frac98\cdot 2(9-p^2)=\frac94(9-p^2).$$ 4. **Match with the options** This is exactly $$\boxed{\frac94(9-p^2)}.$$ So the correct option is **C**. 5. **Comparison with stored answer** Stored correct answer: **C**. Our derived answer also gives **C**, so they agree.More from Quadratic Equation and Inequalities
