Well, do it.  If the problem were 3, 4, what would you do?

anonymous · Answer

I would find b and c, but I can't simplify the i in the end

3,4 is like this y = (x-3)(x-4) = x^2 - 7x + 12

2/3, 3/4 is like this y = (x - 2/3)(x - 3/4) = x^2 - (17/12)x + (1/2)
Or maybe y = (3x-2)(4x-3) = 12x^2 -17x + 6

$2+\sqrt{5}$, $2-\sqrt{5}$ is like this $y = (x - (2+\sqrt{5}))(x - (2-\sqrt{5}))$ = ???

That's enough of that.  You finish taht one and then let's ahve a look at your original problem statement.
