Correct answer: D
- Let the roots of be .
By Vieta's formulas,
We are given We need to check which statement is not true.
- Derive a recurrence for .
Since each root satisfies for , multiplying by gives So, Adding,
Initial values:
Now compute successively:
- Check each option.
Option A
So A is true.
Option B
So B is true.
Option C
So C is true.
Option D
So D is false.
- Therefore, the statement which is not true is
