If α,β,γ are the three roots of the  3x^3 +12x^2 −77x+11=0,  find the value of (α−1)(β−1)(γ−1).

let p(x)=3x^3 +12x^2 −77x+11 and  p(x)=0 has the roots are α, β and γ  let p(x+1)=3(x+1)^3 +12(x+1)^2 −77(x+1)+11  has the roots are  { ((α−1)),((β−1)),((γ−1)) :}  p(x+1)=3(x^3 +3x^2 +3x+1)+12(x^2 +2x+1)−77x−77+11  p(X)=3x^3 +21x^2 −44x−51  thus (α−1)(β−1)(γ−1)=((51)/3) = 17

α+β+γ=−((12)/3)  αβ+βγ+γα=−((77)/3)  αβγ=−((11)/3)  (α−1)(β−1)(γ−1)  =αβγ+(α+β+γ)−(αβ+βγ+γα)−1  =−((11)/3)−((12)/3)+((77)/3)−1  =17
$$\alpha+\beta+\gamma=−\frac{\mathrm{12}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha=−\frac{\mathrm{77}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\alpha\beta\gamma=−\frac{\mathrm{11}}{\mathrm{3}} \\ $$$$\left(\alpha−\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\beta−\mathrm{1}\right)\left(\gamma−\mathrm{1}\right) \\ $$$$=\alpha\beta\gamma+\left(\alpha+\beta+\gamma\right)−\left(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha\right)−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$=−\frac{\mathrm{11}}{\mathrm{3}}−\frac{\mathrm{12}}{\mathrm{3}}+\frac{\mathrm{77}}{\mathrm{3}}−\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$=\mathrm{17} \\ $$
