If α and β are the roots of the equation 8x 2 - 3x + 27 = 0, find the value of (α 2/β) 1/3 + (β 2/α) 1/3

Correct Answer: 1/4

Explanation:

Since, α and β are the roots of the equation
8x2 - 3x + 27 = 0
∴ α + β = 3/8 and α β = 27/8
∴ (α2/β)1/3 + (β2/α )1/8
= (α3)1/3 + (β3)1/3/(αβ)3
= α + β / (αβ)1/3 = 3/8/(27/8)1/3
= 3/8 x 2/3 = 1/4
