a) If α\alpha and β\beta are the roots of 5x2−9x−4=05x^2 - 9x - 4 = 0, find the equation whose roots are (α2−3)(\alpha^2 - 3) and (β2−3)(\beta^2 - 3).

Step 1: Find the sum and product of the roots of the original equation 5x2−9x−4=05x^2 - 9x - 4 = 0.
For a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the sum of roots is α+β=−ba\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} and the product of roots is $\alpha\beta = \frac{c}{a
