To solve the problem, we need to find the values of \( a \) such that the roots \( \alpha \) and \( \beta \) of the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 3x + a = 0 \) satisfy the condition \( 1 < \alpha < \beta \). ### Step 1: Identify the roots of the quadratic equation The roots of the quadratic equation \( x^2 - 3x + a = 0 \) can be found using the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] Here, \( a = 1 \), \( b = -3 \), and \( c = a \). Thus, the roots are: ...
