between the two fluorine atoms.

as the product.

53) Question Explanation:

In this question a + b + c = 0 is given and based on this condition. We need to determine the
nature of a complex algebric expression involving a, b, c raised to powers up to 6 :

and we have to check the value of this

expression is always positive negative or independent of a, b, c.

Concept:
This question is based on Theory of equation & Newton's formula.

Solution:
Given a + b + c = 0
Let p = ab + bc + ca and q = abc
Let Sk = ak + bk + ck
S1 = a + b + c = 0
S2 = a2 + b2 + c2
= (a + b + c)2 – 2(ab + bc + ca)
= (0)2 – 2p
S2 = –2p
S3 = a3 + b3 + c3 (∵ a + b + c = 0)
= 3 abc
S3 = 3q
We can assume a cubic equation whose roots are a, b, c as-

use Newton's formula.

Sk+3 + pSk+1 – qSk = 0
Sk+3 = qSk – pSk+1
k=1
S4 = qS1 – pS2
= q × 0 – p(–2p)
S4 = 2p2
k=2
S5 = qS2 – pS3
= q × (–2p) – p(3q)
S5 = –5pq
k=3
S6 = qS3 – pS4
= q × 3q – p(2p2)
S6 = 3q2 – 2p3
The expression to evaluate

Is
Put the value of S2, S3, S6 in terms of p and q

= 3q2 – 2p3 + 2p3 – 3q2

Since the value of this expression is '0'.

So, It is independent of the values of a, b, c.
