If a and b are the roots of the given equation, then,
using Viete's relationships, we could write:
a+b = -
(-4)/3
a*b = 1/3
Now, we know
that we could write an equation if we know the sum and the product of it's
roots:
x^2 - Sx + P = 0
We
know that the roots of the equation we have to form are: a^2/b and
b^2/a.
We'll write the sum of
them:
S = a^2/b + b^2/a = (a^3 +
b^3)/a*b
But the sum of cubes from numerator could be
written as:
a^3 + b^3 = (a+b)^3 -
3a*b(a+b)
We'll substitute in the relation above, the
values of a+b and a*b:
(a+b)^3 - 3a*b(a+b) = (4/3)^3-
3*(1/3)(4/3) = (4/3)(16/9 - 1)
a^3 + b^3 = (4/3)*(7/9) =
28/27
S =
(28/27)/(1/3)
S =
28/9
P = (a^2/b)* (b^2/a)
=a*b = 1/3
The quadratic equation whose
roots are (a^2/b) and (b^2/a) is:
x^2 - (28/9)*x + 1/3 =
0
9x^2 - 28x + 3 =
0
