Consider f(x)=8x4−16x3+16x2−8x+k=0 where k∈R,then find sum of non Real roots of f(x).
My approach:
we have f′(x)=32x3−48x2+32x−8=0 Also
f″ so f'(x) is strictly increasing and hence has only one real root x_0 in (0 \:\:1),
So f(x) has Local Minima at x=x_0 and no Local Maxima. So f(x) must have eactly two Real roots and two Complex Roots. Also f(0)=k=f(1) and since f(x) has Local Minima at x_0 where $0
Now let the roots of f(x) be a,b, p+iq and p-iq where a,b,p,q \in \mathbb{R} We need to find value of 2p...Now using relationships between coefficients and roots of f(x) we have
a+b+2p=2 \tag{1}
ab+(p^2+q^2)=(2p-1)^2+1 \tag{2}
ab(2p)+(p^2+q^2)(2-2p)=1 \tag{3}
(ab)(p^2+q^2)=\frac{k}{8} \tag{4}
Since a and b lie in the interval (0\:\: 1) we have
0\le a+b \le 1 \implies
0 \le 2-2p \le 1 \implies
1 \le 2p \le 2 but unable to find exact value of 2p...any help will be greatly appreciated.
