HELP ASAP!

What are u and v.?     Use the quadratic formula    \(x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} \over 2a}\)

You can do that bit yourself!

this is not a hard question.

We could use the quad formula.....but....by Vieta....here's an easier  solution method.....

u + v =   -5/3    ⇒  (u + v)^2 = 25/9 ⇒  u^2  +  2uv  + v^2   =  25/9    ⇒   u^2 + v^2  =   25/9 - 2uv

uv = 7/3   ⇒  2uv =  2(7/3)

u/ v +  v/ u   =

(u^2 + v^2)  / uv   =

( 25/9  - 2uv)  / ( 7/3)   =

(25/9  - 2 ( 7/3)) / (7/3)  =

(25/9  - 14/3)  / (7/3)  =

(25/9 - 42/9) / (7/3)  =

(-17/9) ( 3/7)  =

(-17/7) ( 3/9)  =

(-17/7) (1/3)  =

-17/21
