Question:medium

If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the zeroes of $4x^3 + 8x^2 - 6x - 2$, then the value of $\alpha\beta + \beta\gamma + \gamma\alpha$ is _____.

Show Hint

For any cubic polynomial: \[ ax^3+bx^2+cx+d \] always remember: \[ \alpha+\beta+\gamma=-\frac{b}{a} \] \[ \alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha=\frac{c}{a} \] \[ \alpha\beta\gamma=-\frac{d}{a} \] The sign pattern is very important in exams, so memorize it carefully.
