Okay, let's spell this out.
You have 175x^2-15x+2=(f(x)+2)(g(x)+1) where
f(x)=5a_1(x)+5
7g(x)=5a_2(x)
where, for all, algebraic integers x, a_1(x) and a_2(x) are roots of
a^2-(7x-1)a+(49x^2-14x)=0.
Then you say, let g'(x)=f(x)/2 and f'(x)=2g(x).
What you need to do is clarify your statement "now that same argument
that I used to give the a's now works with that expression to give the
same equation".
I have given one interpretation of what this can mean.
We could set
f'(x)=5b_1(x)+5
7g'(x)=5b_2(x)
and then the claim might be that for all algebraic integers x, b_1(x)
and b_2(x) are roots of the same equation. As I pointed out, this is
easily proved to be wrong.
I suspect this is what you do mean, and it's wrong. If you mean
something else, you'll have to explain what.

No, they are *not* the same. You should call them b_1(x) and b_2(x). I
gave you the equations of which they are roots.
