Correct answer: B

  1. Given equation and roots

The cubic is x3+bx+c=0x^3+bx+c=0x3+bx+c=0 with roots α,β,γ\alpha,\beta,\gammaα,β,γ.

For a monic cubic x3+0x2+bx+c=0x^3+0x^2+bx+c=0x3+0x2+bx+c=0, by Vieta: α+β+γ=0,\alpha+\beta+\gamma=0,α+β+γ=0, αβ+βγ+γα=b,\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha=b,αβ+βγ+γα=b, αβγ=−c.\alpha\beta\gamma=-c.αβγ=−c.

Also given: βγ=1=−α  ⟹  α=−1,βγ=1.\beta\gamma=1=-\alpha \implies \alpha=-1,\quad \beta\gamma=1.βγ=1=−α⟹α=−1,βγ=1.


  1. Find β+γ\beta+\gammaβ+γ

Using α+β+γ=0,\alpha+\beta+\gamma=0,α+β+γ=0, we get −1+β+γ=0  ⟹  β+γ=1.-1+\beta+\gamma=0 \implies \beta+\gamma=1.−1+β+γ=0⟹β+γ=1.

So β,γ\beta,\gammaβ,γ are numbers with β+γ=1,βγ=1.\beta+\gamma=1,\qquad \beta\gamma=1.β+γ=1,βγ=1.


  1. Find bbb and ccc

Using Vieta: b=αβ+βγ+γα.b=\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha.b=αβ+βγ+γα. Substitute α=−1\alpha=-1α=−1 and βγ=1\beta\gamma=1βγ=1: b=−β+1−γ=1−(β+γ)=1−1=0.b=-\beta+1-\gamma=1-(\beta+\gamma)=1-1=0.b=−β+1−γ=1−(β+γ)=1−1=0.

Next, αβγ=−c.\alpha\beta\gamma=-c.αβγ=−c. Since α=−1\alpha=-1α=−1 and βγ=1\beta\gamma=1βγ=1, (−1)(1)=−c  ⟹  −1=−c  ⟹  c=1.(-1)(1)=-c \implies -1=-c \implies c=1.(−1)(1)=−c⟹−1=−c⟹c=1.

Thus, b=0,c=1,α=−1.b=0,\qquad c=1,\qquad \alpha=-1.b=0,c=1,α=−1.


  1. Compute β3+γ3\beta^3+\gamma^3β3+γ3 and relate β3,γ3\beta^3,\gamma^3β3,γ3

From β+γ=1,βγ=1,\beta+\gamma=1,\quad \beta\gamma=1,β+γ=1,βγ=1, β3+γ3=(β+γ)3−3βγ(β+γ)=13−3(1)(1)=1−3=−2.\beta^3+\gamma^3=(\beta+\gamma)^3-3\beta\gamma(\beta+\gamma)=1^3-3(1)(1)=1-3=-2.β3+γ3=(β+γ)3−3βγ(β+γ)=13−3(1)(1)=1−3=−2.

Also, β\betaβ and γ\gammaγ are roots of t2−(β+γ)t+βγ=0  ⟹  t2−t+1=0.t^2-(\beta+\gamma)t+\beta\gamma=0\implies t^2-t+1=0.t2−(β+γ)t+βγ=0⟹t2−t+1=0. So each satisfies t2=t−1.t^2=t-1.t2=t−1. Multiplying by ttt: t3=t2−t=(t−1)−t=−1.t^3=t^2-t=(t-1)-t=-1.t3=t2−t=(t−1)−t=−1. Hence β3=γ3=−1.\beta^3=\gamma^3=-1.β3=γ3=−1.


  1. Evaluate the expression

We need b3+2c3−3α3−6β3−8γ3.b^3+2c^3-3\alpha^3-6\beta^3-8\gamma^3.b3+2c3−3α3−6β3−8γ3. Substitute b=0,c=1,α=−1,β3=−1,γ3=−1.b=0,\quad c=1,\quad \alpha=-1,\quad \beta^3=-1,\quad \gamma^3=-1.b=0,c=1,α=−1,β3=−1,γ3=−1.

Then 03+2(1)3−3(−1)3−6(−1)−8(−1).0^3+2(1)^3-3(-1)^3-6(-1)-8(-1).03+2(1)3−3(−1)3−6(−1)−8(−1). Now, =0+2−3(−1)+6+8=0+2-3(-1)+6+8=0+2−3(−1)+6+8 =2+3+6+8=19.=2+3+6+8=19.=2+3+6+8=19.


  1. Option check

The value is 19\boxed{19}19​ which corresponds to Option B.


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer: B

Our derived answer: B

So they agree.
