Question:medium

If $\alpha, \beta, \gamma, \delta$ are the roots of the equation $12x^4-56x^3+89x^2-56x+12=0$ such that $\alpha\beta = \gamma\delta = 1$ and $\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\gamma+\delta}>1$, then $\frac{\alpha+\beta}{\gamma+\delta} =$

Show Hint

Recognize reciprocal equations by their symmetric coefficients. The standard technique is to divide by the middle power of $x$ (here $x^2$) and use the substitution $y=x+1/x$ to reduce it to a simpler equation.
