You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Two roots their sum is 4 and their product is 1.

So the corresponding quadratic equation is
x^2 - 4x + 1 = 0

and we obtain the roots are
2+ sqrt(3) and 2- sqrt(3) immediately.
That is the whole story.
The reason why I solve this kind of questions is I don't
want you see other possible long answers.
