Given that α and β are the roots of the quadratic equation x2+ax+b=0, we are provided with the following relations:
β−α=11β2−α2=3i11
Since β2−α2=(β−α)(β+α), we can substitute the value of β−α:
11(β+α)=3i11⟹β+α=3i
Now, using the algebraic identity for the product of roots αβ, we have:
αβ=4(β+α)2−(β−α)2
Substituting the known values:
αβ=4(3i)2−(11)2=4−9−11=4−20=−5
Next, we expand β3−α3 using the factorization formula:
β3−α3=(β−α)(β2+αβ+α2)
Rewriting β2+αβ+α2 in terms of (β+α) and αβ:
β2+αβ+α2=(β+α)2−αβ
Substituting the values:
β2+αβ+α2=(3i)2−(−5)=−9+5=−4
Thus, β3−α3 becomes:
β3−α3=11×(−4)=−411
Finally, we calculate (β3−α3)2:
(β3−α3)2=(−411)2=16×11=176
Hence, the correct option is B.
