Question

if a + b = -1/6 and a×b = -2 find a and b if a is alpha and b is beta​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a+b=-1/6 and a×b=-2

We have (a+b) ^2=(a^2)+2ab+(b^2)

That is (-1/6)^2=a^2+2(-2)+b^2

a^2+b^2=(1/36)+4

Answer 2

a = 4/3 and b = -3/2

a+b = -1/6 and ab = -2

$x^{2} - (a + b)x \: + ab$

Put the values and you will get the answer
