find an equation with coefficients whose roots are 2 plus and minus the square root of 3 divided by 3
:
x =
:
Multiply both sides by 3:
3x =
:
Subtract 2 from both sides
3x - 2 = +/-
:
Square both sides:
(3x-2)^2 = 3
:
FOIL
9x^2 - 12x + 4 = 3
:
Subtract 3 from both sides:
9x^2 - 12x + 4 - 3 = 0
:
9x^2 - 12x + 1 = 0 is our equation
