1) Let's find the roots of the equation: 5x² -7x +1
5x² -7x +1
2) Calling x_1 =p and x_2= q
Plugging them into the (p/q)+(q/p) expression, dividing the fractions. And then rationalizing it we'll have finally:
[tex]\frac{\frac{7+\sqrt[]{29}}{10}}{\frac{7-\sqrt[]{29}}{10}}+\frac{\frac{7-\sqrt[]{29}}{10}}{\frac{7+\sqrt[]{29}}{10}}=\frac{7+\sqrt[]{29}}{10}\cdot\frac{10}{7-\sqrt[]{29}}\text{ +}\frac{7-\sqrt[]{29}}{10}\cdot\frac{10}{7+\sqrt[]{29}}\text{ =}\frac{39}{5}[/tex]
