<s>[INST] The roots of the equation $x^2 - 6x + 7 = 0$ are $α$ and $β$. Find the equation with roots $α + 1/β$ and $β + 1/α$. Quadratic equation question, as specified in the title.

The roots of the equation $x^2 - 6x + 7 = 0$ are $α$ and $β$. Find the equation with roots $α + \frac{1}{β}$ and $β + \frac{1}{α}$.

I gather that $α + β = -\frac{b}{a} = \frac{6}{1} = 6$ and that $αβ = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{7}{1} = 7$. Do I need to convert $α + \frac{1}{β}$ and $β + \frac{1}{α}$ into a format whereby I can sub in the values for adding together or multiplying $α$ and $β$ ? If so, how ?
 [/INST] As $\alpha\beta=\dfrac71,$
let $y=\dfrac{\alpha\beta+1}\alpha=\dfrac{7+1}\alpha\iff\alpha=\dfrac8y$
Put the value of $\alpha$ in  $$x^2-6x+7=0$$  and rearrange.
