. We're sorry about the hassle.
Because α and β are the roots of the equation 2 x 2 − m x + 8 = 0 , we have: { α + β = 2 m α β = 4 Otherwise, the roots of the equation 5 x 2 − 1 0 x + 5 n = 0 are α 1 and β 1 , we get: ⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ α 1 + β 1 = 2 α 1 . β 1 = n Thus, m n = α β 2 ( α + β ) = 2 ( α 1 + β 1 ) = 4 .
Bonus : We can find that n = 4 1 ; m = 1 6 .
