Q61.Let a ∈R and let α, β be the roots of the equation x2 + 60 41 x + a = 0. If α4 + β4 = −30, then the product of all possible values of a is _____ .

What This Question Tests

This question requires applying Vieta's formulas and algebraic identities to find the sum of the fourth powers of the roots, then solving for the possible values of the coefficient 'a'.

Concepts Tested

Roots of quadratic equationVieta's formulas (sum and product of roots)Algebraic identities (for α^4 + β^4)

Formulas Used

α + β = -b/a

αβ = c/a

α² + β² = (α+β)² - 2αβ

α⁴ + β⁴ = (α² + β²)² - 2(αβ)²
