cubicpolynomial. [Ans. 146]
[Sol. Sincecubicis divisiblebyboth
x2 + ax + b and x2 + bx + a and
 x2 + ax + b and x2 + bx + a must have a common roots.
x2 + ax + b = 0
– x2 + bx + a = 0
subtract
 x(a – b) = (a – b)
x = 1
 common root is 1
x2 + ax + b = 0 1 ·  = b   = b
x2 + bx + a = 0 1 ·  = a   = a
 roots of cubic be 1, a, b
product of the roots be
1 · a · b = – 72 ....(1)
and a + b + 1 = 0 ....(2) (from x2 + ax + b = 0 put x = 1)
 a –

 a2 + a – 72 = 0
(a + 9)(a – 8) = 0
a = – 9, 8
 roots are 1, – 9, 8
