Sum of roots

= α + 1/β + β + 1/α

= α + β + 1/β + 1/α

= 6 + α/αβ + β/αβ

= 6 + (α + β)/αβ

= 6 + 6/4

= 15/2


Product of roots

= (α + 1/β)(β+ 1/α)

= αβ + α/α + β/β + 1/αβ

= 4 + 1 + 1 + 1/4

= 6¼

= 25/4


This tells us that c/a = 25/4
-b/a = 15/2 = 30/4
so b/a = -30/4

Equation in the form of x² + b/a x + c/a = 0:


x² - 30/4 x + 25/4 = 0

Multiply by 4,

4x² - 30x + 25 =0
