  • Problem 1: For the equation x^2-6x+9=0, find the sum and product of the roots without solving for them.
    Sum of roots: -b/a=-((-6))/1=6 Product of roots: c/a=9/1=9
  • Problem 1: Solve x^2-2x-3=0 using the quadratic formula.
    Roots: x_1=3 x_2=-1
  • Problem 2: For the equation 2x^2-8x+6=0, determine the sum and product of the roots.
    Sum of roots: -b/a=-((-8))/2=4 Product of roots: c/a=6/2=3
  • Problem 3: Solve x^2-3x-5=0 using the quadratic formula.
    Roots: x_1=2.5 x_2=-1
  • Problem 2: Given the equation x^2-2x-3=0, calculate the discriminant and determine if the roots are real, rational, irrational, or imaginary.
    Discriminant: D=b^2-4ac= (-2)^2-4(1)(-3)=16 Nature of roots: Real, rational, and unequal (since 16 is a perfect square).
