Answer and explanation
Correct answer: ( \frac{34}{15}) / (\frac{34}{15})
(\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=\frac{\alpha^2+\beta^2}{\alpha\beta}), where (\alpha+\beta=8) and (\alpha\beta=15), so the value is (\frac{64-30}{15}=\frac{34}{15}). In exams, convert expressions into sum and product.
