If are the roots of the equation , find the values of a and b.

Quadratic equation in roots form:


(x – a)(x – b) = 0, where a and b are the roots


Given, are the roots of the equation


Quadratic equation is,


(x – 2/3)(x + 3) = 0


x2 -2x/3 + 3x – 2 = 0


3x2 +7x – 6 = 0


On comparing with


We get, a = 3 and b = -6
