The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the equation whose roots are \( \frac{1}{\alpha} \) and \( \frac{1}{\beta} \), where \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) are the roots of the given quadratic equation \( 3x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0 \). ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given quadratic equation is: \[ 3x^2 - 6x + 5 = 0 \] Here, the coefficients are: - \( A = 3 \) - \( B = -6 \) - \( C = 5 \) ### Step 2: Calculate the sum and product of the roots Using Vieta's formulas: - The sum of the roots \( \alpha + \beta \) is given by: \[ \alpha + \beta = -\frac{B}{A} = -\frac{-6}{3} = \frac{6}{3} = 2 \] - The product of the roots \( \alpha \beta \) is given by: \[ \alpha \beta = \frac{C}{A} = \frac{5}{3} \] ### Step 3: Find the sum and product of the new roots The new roots are \( \frac{1}{\alpha} \) and \( \frac{1}{\beta} \). We need to find their sum and product: - The sum of the new roots \( \frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} \) can be calculated as: \[ \frac{1}{\alpha} + \frac{1}{\beta} = \frac{\beta + \alpha}{\alpha \beta} = \frac{\alpha + \beta}{\alpha \beta} = \frac{2}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{2 \times 3}{5} = \frac{6}{5} \] - The product of the new roots \( \frac{1}{\alpha} \cdot \frac{1}{\beta} \) is: \[ \frac{1}{\alpha} \cdot \frac{1}{\beta} = \frac{1}{\alpha \beta} = \frac{1}{\frac{5}{3}} = \frac{3}{5} \] ### Step 4: Form the new quadratic equation Using the sum and product of the new roots, we can form the new quadratic equation: \[ x^2 - \left(\text{sum of roots}\right)x + \left(\text{product of roots}\right) = 0 \] Substituting the values we found: \[ x^2 - \frac{6}{5}x + \frac{3}{5} = 0 \] ### Step 5: Clear the fractions To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply the entire equation by 5: \[ 5x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0 \] ### Final Answer The equation having the roots \( \frac{1}{\alpha} \) and \( \frac{1}{\beta} \) is: \[ 5x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0 \]
