If $$\alpha, \beta$$ are the roots of the equation $$x^2 - (5 + 3^{\sqrt{\log_3 5}} - 5^{\sqrt{\log_5 3}})x + 3(3^{(\log_3 5)^{1/3}} - 5^{(\log_5 3)^{2/3}} - 1) = 0$$ then the equation, whose roots are $$\alpha + \dfrac{1}{\beta}$$ and $$\beta + \dfrac{1}{\alpha}$$, is
Solution :
Given quadratic equation :
$$x^2-\left(5+3^{\sqrt{\log_3 5}}-5^{\sqrt{\log_5 3}}\right)x + 3\left(3^{(\log_3 5)^{1/3}}-5^{(\log_5 3)^{2/3}}-1\right)=0$$
First simplify the coefficients.
Using identity :
$$a^{\log_a b}=b$$
Also,
$$3^{\sqrt{\log_3 5}} = 5^{\sqrt{\log_5 3}}$$
Therefore,
coefficient of $$x$$ becomes :
$$5+3^{\sqrt{\log_3 5}}-5^{\sqrt{\log_5 3}}=5$$
Hence,
$$\alpha+\beta = 5$$
Now consider constant term :
$$3^{(\log_3 5)^{1/3}} = 5^{(\log_5 3)^{2/3}}$$
Thus,
$$3\left(3^{(\log_3 5)^{1/3}}-5^{(\log_5 3)^{2/3}}-1\right)$$
$$=3(0-1)$$
$$=-3$$
Therefore,
$$\alpha\beta=-3$$
Now required roots are :
$$\alpha+\frac1\beta$$
and
$$\beta+\frac1\alpha$$
Sum of roots :$$S = \alpha+\beta+\frac1\alpha+\frac1\beta$$
$$= (\alpha+\beta)+\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\alpha\beta}$$
$$= 5+\frac{5}{-3}$$
$$= \frac{10}{3}$$
Product of roots :
$$P = \left(\alpha+\frac1\beta\right) \left(\beta+\frac1\alpha\right)$$
$$=\alpha\beta+1+1+\frac1{\alpha\beta}$$
$$=-3+2-\frac13$$
$$= -\frac43$$
Hence required equation :
$$x^2-Sx+P=0$$
$$x^2-\frac{10}{3}x-\frac43=0$$
Multiplying by 3 :
$$3x^2-10x-4=0$$
Final Answer :
$$3x^2-10x-4=0$$
