Homework Statement
[itex]\alpha[/itex] and [itex]\alpha^{2}[/itex] are two roots of the equation x[itex]^{2}[/itex] -12x + k = 0
Find 2 values for k.
The Attempt at a Solution
[itex]\alpha[/itex] + [itex]\alpha[/itex][itex]^{2}[/itex] = 12
[itex]\alpha[/itex][itex]^{3}[/itex] = k
I have no idea where to go from here. Any help appreciated.
