If (\alpha) and (\beta) are roots of (x^2-8x+15=0), what is the value of (\frac{\alpha-1}{\beta-1}+\frac{\beta-1}{\alpha-1})?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: (\frac{17}{8})
The roots are (3) and (5), so (\alpha-1) and (\beta-1) are (2) and (4). The value is (\frac{2}{4}+\frac{4}{2}=\frac{5}{2}).
