If α , β are the roots of the quadratic equation
x 2 − ( 3 + 2 lo g 2 3 − 3 lo g 3 2 ) x − 2 ( 3 lo g 3 2 − 2 lo g 2 3 ) = 0 ,
then find the value of ( α 2 + α β + β 2 ) .

Heart touching question with heart touching solution
lol, what i actual get is 3...
Sorry, but i don't understand about the first equation. Can you explain it??
Awesome solution! I used calculator but now I understood! Thanks !😀
How did u directly do the first step
Now i understood
Nice solution boy
Thank you sir It was amazing
( α + β ) 2 = α 2 + 2 α β + β 2
α 2 + α β + β 2 ) = ( α + β ) 2 − α β
α + β = − A B , α β = A C
A = 1 , B = − ( 3 + 2 l o g 2 3 − 3 l o g 3 2 ) , C = − 2 ( 3 l o g 3 2 − 2 l o g 2 3 )
( α 2 + α β + β 2 ) = ( − A B ) 2 − A C = B 2 − C
= ( 3 + 2 l o g 2 3 − 3 l o g 3 2 ) 2 + 2 ( 3 l o g 3 2 − 2 l o g 2 3 ) = 3 2 + 2 ( − 1 ) = 9 − 2 = 7

Lets try to get the equation in the simpler form. Firstly we will try solving out the " lo g " terms in the equation.
2 lo g 2 3 = 2 lo g 2 3 lo g 2 3 = 2 ( lo g 2 3 ) ( lo g 3 2 ) = ( 2 ( lo g 2 3 ) ) lo g 3 2 = 3 lo g 3 2
⇒ 2 lo g 2 3 − 3 lo g 3 2 = 0 .
And we know the property of logarithms that a lo g a b = b , we can figure out 3 lo g 3 2 − 2 lo g 2 3 = 2 − 3 = − 1 . So now our equation becomes x 2 − 3 x + 2 = 0 . Hence using Vieta's Formula we can conclude that α + β = 3 and α β = 2 . So we will solve it further as we move on:
α 2 + α β + β 2 = ( α + β ) 2 − α β = 3 2 − 2 = 7 . □
