Answer

For given roots,

Quadratic equation : x2 - (Sum of roots)x + (Product of roots) = 0

Substituting values we get :

x22x+13=03x232x+13=03x232x+1=0.\Rightarrow x^2 - \sqrt{2}x + \dfrac{1}{3} = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{3x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1}{3} = 0 \\[1em] \Rightarrow 3x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1 = 0.

Hence, required quadratic equation is 3x232x+1=03x^2 - 3\sqrt{2}x + 1 = 0.
