$mathbb{E}[X] ,Var[X] $ of quadratic equation
$begingroup$
I am having some problems to find the solution required in the next exercise:
$x^2-ax+b=0$ has real and not equal solutions and that b is a positive constant that such that $b sim U(i,j)$ for certain i,j.
Find the $mathbb{E}[X], ,Var[X]$ of the solutions.
What I have so far:
From the Quadratic Formula, it is known that:
And since these are real solutions,
$implies a^2>4b$
$implies frac{a^2}{4}>b$
¿how do I use $b sim U(i,j)$?

Well, simply by using the fact that since $b sim U(0,a^2/4)$ then $mathbb{E}(b) =4/a^2int_{0}^{a^2/2}b,db =frac{a^2/4}{2} = a^2/8$.
Then, for $x_1$ for example, it is :
$$mathbb{E}(x_1) = mathbb{E}left(frac{a + sqrt{a^2-4b}}{2}right) = frac{1}{2}mathbb{E}left(a+sqrt{a^2-4b}right)$$
But, $a$ is a constant (not following any distributions, as far as one can say per the problem hypothesis), thus $mathbb{E}(a) = a$ and so :
$$mathbb{E}(x_1) = frac{1}{2}a + frac{1}{2}mathbb{E}left(sqrt{a^2-4b}right) $$
Can you finish the calculation now ?
For the calculation of variance, again use the fact that since $b sim U(0,a^2/4)$ then :
$$V(b) = frac{1}{12}left(frac{a^2}{4}-0right)^2= frac{a^4}{12cdot 16}$$
Be careful now, since if $a$ is a constant, then $V(a) = a^2$.
