Question

If \(-\sqrt{2}\) and \(\sqrt{3}\) are roots of the equation \(a_0 + a_1x + a_2x^2 + a_3x^3 + x^4 = 0\) where \(a_0, a_1, a_2, a_3\) are integers, then which one of the following is correct?

This question was previously asked in
NDA 2 2024 GAT Question Paper (01-Sep-2024)
The correct answer is

\(a_0 = 6, a_3 = 0\)

With integer coefficients, the irrational conjugates \(\sqrt2\) and \(-\sqrt3\) must also be roots. The polynomial is \((x^2-2)(x^2-3)=x^4-5x^2+6\). Hence \(a_0=6\) and \(a_3=0\).
