Let a and b be roots of x² - 4x + 2 = 0. find the value of a/b² +b/a²

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

$\dfrac{a}{b^2}+\dfrac{b}{a^2}=10$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation: $x^2-4x+2=0$

The roots of the given quadratic equation are the values of x when $y=0$ .

To find the roots, use the quadratic formula:

$x=\dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\quad\textsf{when }\:ax^2+bx+c=0$

Therefore:

$a=1, \quad b=-4, \quad c=2$

$\begin{aligned}\implies x & =\dfrac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2-4(1)(2)}}{2(1)}\\& =\dfrac{4 \pm \sqrt{8}}{2}\\& =\dfrac{4 \pm 2\sqrt{2}}{2}\\& =2 \pm \sqrt{2}\end{aligned}$

$\textsf{Let }a=2+\sqrt{2}$

$\textsf{Let }b=2-\sqrt{2}$

Therefore:

$\begin{aligned}\implies \dfrac{a}{b^2}+\dfrac{b}{a^2} & = \dfrac{2+\sqrt{2}}{(2-\sqrt{2})^2}+\dfrac{2-\sqrt{2}}{(2+\sqrt{2})^2}\\\\& = \dfrac{2+\sqrt{2}}{6-4\sqrt{2}}+\dfrac{2-\sqrt{2}}{6+4\sqrt{2}}\\\\& = \dfrac{(2+\sqrt{2})(6+4\sqrt{2})+(2-\sqrt{2})(6-4\sqrt{2})}{(6-4\sqrt{2})(6+4\sqrt{2})}\\\\& = \dfrac{12+8\sqrt{2}+6\sqrt{2}+8+12-8\sqrt{2}-6\sqrt{2}+8}{36+24\sqrt{2}-24\sqrt{2}-32}\\\\& = \dfrac{40}{4}\\\\& = 10\end{aligned}$

What is the answer for this problem cause i am very confused

EleoNora [17]

41.8, angle y and the measurement angle labeled as just "138.2" are supplementary angles, meaning that when you add them together they equal 180. So all you have to do is subtract 138.2 from 180 and you get your answer which is 41.8.
