Algebra
a and b are real numbers
a + b = -7
(a)(b) = 11
a^2 + b^2 = 27
find a quadratic equation with roots a/b and b/a and write the answer in the form p(x^2) + q(x) + r = 0
p,q,r are and element of Z

Re: Algebra
First of all find the appropriate values for a,b.
To find the quadratic equation apply the standard format,
x2 - [(a/b)+(b/a)] + [(a/b)(b/a)] = 0
Corresponding coefficients gives the p,q,r values.
