Quadratic EquationHard

Question

If α ≠ β but α2 = 5α - 3 and β3 = 5β - 3 then the equation having α/β and β/α as its roots is

Options

A.3x2 - 19 x + 3 = 0
B.3x2 + 19 x - 3 = 0
C.3x2 - 19 x - 3 = 0
D.x2 - 5x + 3 = 0

Solution

We have α2 = 5α - 3
⇒ α2 - 5α + 3 = 0 ⇒ α = . Similarly, β2 = 5β - 3 ⇒ α =
∴   α = and β = or vice - versa
α2 + β2 = = 19 & αβ = (25 - 13)= 3
Thus, the equation having as its roots is
x2 - x + = 0 ⇒ x2 - x + 1 = 0 or 3x2 - 19x + 1 = 0
