The equation \(x^4 - 2x^3 - 1 = 0\) has roots \(\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta\).
(a) Find a quartic equation whose roots are \(\alpha^3, \beta^3, \gamma^3, \delta^3\) and state the value of \(\alpha^3 + \beta^3 + \gamma^3 + \delta^3\).
(b) Find the value of \(\frac{1}{\alpha^3} + \frac{1}{\beta^3} + \frac{1}{\gamma^3} + \frac{1}{\delta^3}\).
(c) Find the value of \(\alpha^4 + \beta^4 + \gamma^4 + \delta^4\).
