Given that ((17−((27)/4)(√6)))^(1/(3 ))  and ((17+((27)/4)(√6)))^(1/(3 ))   are the roots of the equation   x^2 −ax+b = 0. Find the value of ab.

((17±((27(√6))/4)))^(1/3) =2±((√6)/2)  (x−2+((√6)/2))(x−2−((√6)/2))=x^2 −4x+(5/2)  ⇒ ab=+10
$$\sqrt[{\mathrm{3}}]{\mathrm{17}\pm\frac{\mathrm{27}\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}}{\mathrm{4}}}=\mathrm{2}\pm\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\left({x}−\mathrm{2}+\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)\left({x}−\mathrm{2}−\frac{\sqrt{\mathrm{6}}}{\mathrm{2}}\right)={x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}+\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\:{ab}=+\mathrm{10} \\ $$

typo sir. the equation x^2 −ax+b=0  then a = 4 & b = (5/2) sir
$$\mathrm{typo}\:\mathrm{sir}.\:\mathrm{the}\:\mathrm{equation}\:\mathrm{x}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{ax}+\mathrm{b}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{then}\:\mathrm{a}\:=\:\mathrm{4}\:\&\:\mathrm{b}\:=\:\frac{\mathrm{5}}{\mathrm{2}}\:\mathrm{sir} \\ $$

Let x_1  = ((17−((27)/4)(√6)))^(1/(3 ))  and x_2 =((17+((27)/4)(√6)))^(1/(3 ))   Then x_1 .x_2  = (((17−((27)/4)(√6))(17+((27)/4)(√6))))^(1/3)                      = (((125)/8))^(1/(3 ))  = (5/2)  x_1 +x_2  = a ⇒a^3  = x_1 ^3  + x_2 ^3  +3x_1 x_2 (x_1 +x_2 )  a^3  = 34+3ab ⇒a^3  = 34 +((15)/2)a  ⇒2a^3 −15a−68 = 0  ⇒(a−4)(2a^2 +8a+17) =0 , for a∈R  we get a = 4 and thus ab = 4×(5/2)=10
