Solution

Dado que a+1b a + \frac{1}{b} y b+1a b + \frac{1}{a} son las raíces de la ecuación x2px+q=0 x^2 - px + q = 0 , y que ab=1 ab = 1 , vamos a encontrar el valor de q q .

Primero, recordemos que la suma de las raíces de la ecuación cuadrática x2px+q=0 x^2 - px + q = 0 es igual a p p , y el producto de las raíces es igual a q q .

  1. Suma de las raíces: (a+1b)+(b+1a)=p \left( a + \frac{1}{b} \right) + \left( b + \frac{1}{a} \right) = p Dado que ab=1 ab = 1 , podemos sustituir 1b \frac{1}{b} por a a y 1a \frac{1}{a} por b b : a+a+b+b=p a + a + b + b = p 2a+2b=p 2a + 2b = p p=2(a+b) p = 2(a + b)

  2. Producto de las raíces: (a+1b)(b+1a)=q \left( a + \frac{1}{b} \right) \left( b + \frac{1}{a} \right) = q Nuevamente, sustituyendo 1b \frac{1}{b} por a a y 1a \frac{1}{a} por b b : (a+a)(b+b)=q \left( a + a \right) \left( b + b \right) = q (a+a)(b+b)=q (a + a)(b + b) = q (a+a)(b+b)=q (a + a)(b + b) = q (2a)(2b)=q (2a)(2b) = q 4ab=q 4ab = q Dado que ab=1 ab = 1 : 41=q 4 \cdot 1 = q q=4 q = 4

Por lo tanto, el valor de q q es 4 4 .
