α, β, γ and δ are the roots of x^4 + 4x^3 − 6x^2 + 7x − 9 = 0. Then find the value of (1 + α^2 )(1 + β^2 )(1 + γ^2 )(1 + δ^2 )

Since α, β, γ, δ are the roots of the given equation, we have x^4 + 4x^3 − 6x^2 + 7x − 9 = (x − α)(x − β)(x − γ)(x − δ) Putting x = i and then x = −i, we get 1 − 4i + 6 + 7i − 9 = (i − α)(i − β)(i − γ)(i − δ) and 1 + 4i + 6 − 7i − 9 = (−i − α)(−i − β)(−i − γ)(−i − δ) Multiplying these two equations, we get (−2 + 3i)(−2 − 3i) = (1 + α^2 )(1 + β^2 )(1 + γ^2 )(1 + δ^2 ) or 13 = (1 + α^2 )(1 + β^2 )(1 + γ^2 )(1 + δ^2 )
