$$\alpha\beta=\mathrm{4}\:\Rightarrow\sqrt{\alpha}\sqrt{\beta}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$$\alpha+\beta=\mathrm{5}\: \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\sqrt{\alpha}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\sqrt{\beta}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{5} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\sqrt{\alpha}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\left(\sqrt{\beta}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} +\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\:\alpha}\sqrt{\beta}=\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{2}\sqrt{\alpha}\sqrt{\beta} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\left(\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}\right)^{\mathrm{2}} =\mathrm{5}+\mathrm{2}×\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{9} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\sqrt{\alpha}+\sqrt{\beta}=\sqrt{\mathrm{9}}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${the}\:{eqn}.\:{with}\:{roots}\:\sqrt{\alpha}\:{and}\:\sqrt{\beta}\:{is} \\ $$$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{3}{x}+\mathrm{2}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$ | ||
