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 α^2=5 α-3 and β^2=5 β-3 then the equation having α / β and β / α as its roots is
