Question 1205171: If 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾 (where 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾 ≠ 0) are the roots of the equation 𝑥
3 + 𝑝𝑥^2 + 𝑞𝑥 + 𝑟 = 0, where 𝑝, 𝑞
and 𝑟 (≠ 0) are real numbers, express the following in terms of 𝑝, 𝑞 and 𝑟:
𝛼^2𝛽^2 + 𝛽^2𝛾^2 + 𝛼^2𝛾^2

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
In this problem, the given restrictions 𝛼, 𝛽, 𝛾 ≠ 0 and 𝑟 ≠ 0 are not necessary and do not matter.
The solution, given by the other tutor, works nicely without these restrictions, too.
My conclusion: So, these restrictions can be omitted.
They are not necessary.
