If α, β, γ are zeroes of cubic polynomial x³ + px² + qx + 2 such that αβ+1=0. Find the value of 2p+q+5.
Solutions. 
Here We have,
p(x) = x³ + px² + qx + 2
 αβ+1=0       
(Given)
 αβ =
-1        …..eq(i)
We know that if α, β, γ are zeroes of any
cubic polynomial, then
 αβ+βγ+γα = c/a  = q/1
 -1+
βγ+γα = q       (from eq(i) αβ = -1)
 βγ+γα =
q +1
 γ(α+β)=
q +1    …..eq(ii)
Product of zeroes of cubic polynomial is -d/a
 αβγ =
-2          (from eq(i) αβ = -1)
 (-1)γ =
-2
  γ =
2      …..eq(iii)
Now, Putting the value of γ from eq(iii) in
eq(ii) we get
 2(α+β)=
q +1
 α+β =
(q +1)/2     …..eq(iv)
We know that the sum of zeroes is -b/a
 α+β+γ =
-p/1         (α+β = (q +1)/2 and γ = 2 )
(q +1)/2 +2 = -p
(q +1+4)/2 = -p
 q + 5 =
-2p
 2p + q
+ 5 = 0
Thus , the value of  2p+q+5 is 0.
