Let r, s, and t be roots of the equation x^3-5x^2+6x=9. Compute rs/t+st/r+tr/s.
rst+str+trs=r2s2rst+s2t2rst+t2r2rst=r2s2+s2t2+t2r2rst
Let x be (rs+st+tr)2x=(rs+st+tr)2=r2s2+s2t2+t2r2+2rs2t+2r2st+2rst2∴r2s2+s2t2+t2r2=(rs+st+tr)2−2rst(s+r+t)
Substitute the expression.r2s2+s2t2+t2r2rst=(rs+st+tr)2−2rst(r+s+t)rst
Substitute the values.r+s+t=−(−5)1=5rst=−(−9)1=9rs+st+tr=61=6
(rs+st+tr)2−2rst(r+s+t)rst=62−2(9)(5)9=4−10=−6
∴rst+str+trs=−6
.rst+str+trs=r2s2rst+s2t2rst+t2r2rst=r2s2+s2t2+t2r2rst
Let x be (rs+st+tr)2x=(rs+st+tr)2=r2s2+s2t2+t2r2+2rs2t+2r2st+2rst2∴r2s2+s2t2+t2r2=(rs+st+tr)2−2rst(s+r+t)
Substitute the expression.r2s2+s2t2+t2r2rst=(rs+st+tr)2−2rst(r+s+t)rst
Substitute the values.r+s+t=−(−5)1=5rst=−(−9)1=9rs+st+tr=61=6
(rs+st+tr)2−2rst(r+s+t)rst=62−2(9)(5)9=4−10=−6
∴rst+str+trs=−6
