problem

Suppose that aa and bb are nonzero real numbers, and that the equation x2+ax+b=0{x^2 + ax + b = 0} has solutions aa and bb. Then what is the pair (a,b)(a,b)?
Plain-text mathematical notation (without MathML)
Suppose that a and b are nonzero real numbers, and that the equation  x²+ax+b=0 has solutions a and b. Then what is the pair (a,b)?
Original LaTeX notation
Suppose that $a$ and $b$ are nonzero real numbers, and that the equation  $${x^2 + ax + b = 0}$$ has solutions $a$ and $b$. Then what is the pair $(a,b)$?
