MCQ

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be two real numbers such that $\alpha+\beta=1$ and $\alpha \beta=-1 .$ Let $p _{ n }=(\alpha)^{ n }+(\beta)^{ n },p _{ n -1}=11$ and $p _{ n +1}=29$ for some integer $n \geq 1 .$ Then, the value of $p _{ n }^{2}$ is .... .

A
$162$
✓
$324$
C
$648$
D
$424$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$324$

b
$x ^{2}- x -1=0 \quad$ roots $=\alpha, \beta$

$\alpha^{2}-\alpha-1=0 \Rightarrow \alpha^{ n +1}=\alpha^{ n }+\alpha^{ n -1}$

$\beta^{2}-\beta-1=0 \Rightarrow \beta^{ n +1}=\beta^{ n }+\beta^{ n -1}$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad+$_______________________

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad P_{n+1}=P_{n}+P_{n-1}$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad 29=P_{n}+11$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad P_{n}=18$

$\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad\quad P_{n}^{2}=324$
