We know that α and β are roots of equation
α + β = −a and αβ = b
x2 + px – q = 0 so
∴ 3α − 5 − α2 = β 2 − 3β
α2 + pα − q = 0 and β 2 + pβ − q = 0 ⇒ β 2 + α2 = 3(α + β) − 5
from equation (1):

⇒ (a + b)x2 + (2a − 3b + 1)x + a − 2b
+1=0
To be an identity a + b = 0 and 2a – 3b + 1 = 0 and
a – 2b + 1 = 0
Clearly no value of a, b possible to satisfy the
above three equations simultaneously
