1.

If `alpha` and `beta` are the roots of `2x^(2) - x - 2 = 0`, then `(alpha^(3) + beta^(-3) + 2alpha^(-1) beta^(-1))` is equal toA. `-(17)/(8)`B. `(23)/(6)`C. `(37)/(9)`D. `-(29)/(8)`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
() simplify the required expression and find `alpha + beta ` and `alphabeta`.
(ii) Find the sum of the roots and product of the roots.
(iii) Use relation, `a^(3) + b^(3) = (a+b)^(3) - 3ab(a+b)`.
