S = x_1 +x_2 = (2α+β)+(α+2β) = 3(α+β) P = x_1 x_2 = (2α+β)(α+2β) = 2α^2 +5αβ+2β^2 S = −(b/a) = −(p/2) = 3(α+β) ⇒ p = −6(α+β) P = (c/a) = (q/2) = 2α^2 +5αβ+2β^2 ⇒ q = 4α^2 +10αβ+4β^2

$$\mathrm{S}\:=\:{x}_{\mathrm{1}} +{x}_{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\left(\mathrm{2}\alpha+\beta\right)+\left(\alpha+\mathrm{2}\beta\right)\:=\:\mathrm{3}\left(\alpha+\beta\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{P}\:=\:{x}_{\mathrm{1}} {x}_{\mathrm{2}} \:=\:\left(\mathrm{2}\alpha+\beta\right)\left(\alpha+\mathrm{2}\beta\right)\:=\:\mathrm{2}\alpha^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{5}\alpha\beta+\mathrm{2}\beta^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\mathrm{S}\:=\:−\frac{{b}}{{a}}\:=\:−\frac{{p}}{\mathrm{2}}\:=\:\mathrm{3}\left(\alpha+\beta\right) \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{p}\:=\:−\mathrm{6}\left(\alpha+\beta\right) \\ $$$$\mathrm{P}\:=\:\frac{{c}}{{a}}\:=\:\frac{{q}}{\mathrm{2}}\:=\:\mathrm{2}\alpha^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{5}\alpha\beta+\mathrm{2}\beta^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{q}\:=\:\mathrm{4}\alpha^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{10}\alpha\beta+\mathrm{4}\beta^{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$
