    Hello,

    3x²-x+9=0

    ==>x²-x/3+3=0

    p+q=1/3

    pq=3

    p/q+q/p=[ (p+q) ²-2pq] / (pq) = [ (1/3) ²-2*3]/3=[1/9-6]/3=-53/27

    3x² - x + 9 = 0

    also x² - (1/3) x + 3 = 0

    p, q are roots so

    (x - p) (x - q) = x² - (1/3) x + 3 = 0

    x² - (p+q) x + pq = x² - (1/3) x + 3 = 0

    compare coefficients we have

    p+q = 1/3 ... (1)

    pq = 3 ... (2)

    (1) / (2) ... (p+q) / pq = (1/3) / 3

    p/q + q/p = 1/9
