(a) Find all possible values of ab
(b) Find all possible values of a+b
(c) Find all possible values of a and b

Use substitution to get:

 

a≈1.21928  and b≈2.78072                     [Real
a≈2.78072  and b≈1.21928                     [Real


a≈2 - 4.9608 i  and  b≈2 + 4.9608 i        [Imaginary
a≈2 + 4.9608 i  and  b≈2 - 4.9608 i        [Imaginary
