We have α2=5α−3 ⇒α2−5α+3=0⇒α=25±13. Similarly, β2=5β−3⇒α=25±13∴α=25+13 and β=25−13 or vice - versa α2+β2=450+26=19&αβ=41(25−13)=3 Thus, the equation having βα&αβ as its roots is x2−x(βα+αβ)+αβαβ=0⇒x2−x(αβα2+β2)+1=0 or 3x2−19x+1=0
If α=β but α2=5α−3 and β2=5β−3 then the equation having α/β and β/α as its roots is

Let $\alpha = 3+4+8+9+13+14+\ldots$ upto 40 terms. If $(\tan\beta)^{\frac{\alpha}{1020}}$ is a root of the equation $x^2+x-2=0$, $\beta \in \left(0, \dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)$, then $\sin^2\beta + 3\cos^2\beta$ is equal to:
If the set of all solutions of $|x^2 + x - 9| = |x| + |x^2 - 9|$ is $[\alpha, \beta] \cup [\gamma, \infty)$, then $(\alpha^2 + \beta^2 + \gamma^2)$ is equal to:
The sum of squares of all the real solutions of the equation $\log_{(x+1)}(2x^2+5x+3) = 4 - \log_{(2x+3)}(x^2+2x+1)$ is equal to ________.
Let $f:(1,\infty)\to\mathbb{R}$ be a function defined as $f(x) = \dfrac{x-1}{x+1}$. Let $f^{i+1}(x) = f(f^i(x))$, $i=1, 2, \ldots, 25$, where $f^1(x)=f(x)$. If $g(x) + f^{26}(x) = 0$, $x \in (1, \infty)$, then the area of the region bounded by the curves $y=g(x)$, $2y=2x-3$, $y=0$ and $x=4$ is:
