(A) Given the cubic equation $x^3-2x^2+3x-4=0$,let the roots be $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$. By Vieta's formulas: $\alpha+\beta+\gamma = 2$ $\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha = 3$ $\alpha\beta\gamma = 4$ We need to find the value of $\alpha^2\beta^2+\beta^2\gamma^2+\gamma^2\alpha^2$. Using the identity $(a+b+c)^2 = a^2+b^2+c^2+2(ab+bc+ca)$,let $a=\alpha\beta, b=\beta\gamma, c=\gamma\alpha$: $(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha)^2 = (\alpha\beta)^2+(\beta\gamma)^2+(\gamma\alpha)^2 + 2(\alpha\beta^2\gamma + \beta\gamma^2\alpha + \gamma\alpha^2\beta)$ $(\alpha\beta+\beta\gamma+\gamma\alpha)^2 = \alpha^2\beta^2+\beta^2\gamma^2+\gamma^2\alpha^2 + 2\alpha\beta\gamma(\beta+\gamma+\alpha)$ Substituting the known values: $(3)^2 = (\alpha^2\beta^2+\beta^2\gamma^2+\gamma^2\alpha^2) + 2(4)(2)$ $9 = (\alpha^2\beta^2+\beta^2\gamma^2+\gamma^2\alpha^2) + 16$ $\alpha^2\beta^2+\beta^2\gamma^2+\gamma^2\alpha^2 = 9 - 16 = -7$

If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma$ are the roots of $x^3-2x^2+3x-4=0$,then the value of $\alpha^2\beta^2+\beta^2\gamma^2+\gamma^2\alpha^2$ is
