p(x) = 6x^2 - 7x + 2
= 6x^2 - 3x - 4x + 2
= 3x ( 2x - 1 ) -2 ( 2x - 1 )
= ( 2x - 1 ) ( 3x - 2 )
now, put p(x) = 0
so, 2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2 ( alpha - a )
and,
3x - 2 = 0
3x = 2
x = 2/3 ( beta - b )
now,
1/a ( a* ) = 1/1/2
= 2
and,
1/b ( b* )= 1/2/3
= 3/2
now,
a* + b* = 2 + 3/2
= 7/2
and,
a* × b* = 2 × 7/2
= 7
so,
the quad. polynomial
= k [ x^2 - ( a* + b* ) + ( a*× b*) ]
= k [ x^2 - 7/2x + 7 ]
