Question Number 144327 by SOMEDAVONG last updated on 24/Jun/21

Give f(x)=x^5 −5x^4 +4x^3 −3x^2 +2x−1,&  α= (2)^(1/3) (((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) − ((2)^(1/3) /( ((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) ))).Find f(α)?

$$\mathrm{Give}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\mathrm{x}\right)=\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{5}} −\mathrm{5x}^{\mathrm{4}} +\mathrm{4x}^{\mathrm{3}} −\mathrm{3x}^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2x}−\mathrm{1},\& \\ $$$$\alpha=\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{2}}\left(\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}−\:\frac{\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{2}}}{\:\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{3}\sqrt{\mathrm{3}}}}\right).\mathrm{Find}\:\mathrm{f}\left(\alpha\right)? \\ $$

α= (2)^(1/3) (((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) − ((2)^(1/3) /( ((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) )))(clearly a real number)  Simplification of α  α^3 =2{(5+3(√3))−(2/(5+3(√3)))−3(2)^(1/3) (((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) − ((2)^(1/3) /( ((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) )))}  α^3 =2{(5+3(√3))−(2/(5+3(√3)))−3α}  α^3 =2(5+3(√3))−(4/(5+3(√3)))−6α  α^3 +6α=2(5+3(√3))−(4/(5+3(√3)))×((5−3(√3))/(5−3(√3)))        =10+6(√3)−((20−12(√3))/(25−9(3)))      =10+6(√3)+10−6(√3)=20  α^3 +6α−20=0  (α−2)(α^2 +2α+10)=0  α=2 ∣ α=((−2±(√(4−40)))/2)=−1±3i  But α is real so −1±3i are discarded.  ∴  α=(2)^(1/3) (((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) − ((2)^(1/3) /( ((5+3(√3)))^(1/3) )))=2    f(x)=x^5 −5x^4 +4x^3 −3x^2 +2x−1  f(α)=f(2)        =(2)^5 −5(2)^4 +4(2)^3 −3(2)^2 +2(2)−1  =32−80+32−12+4−1  =68−93=−25  f(α)=−25  (please confirm the answer)
