    This document discusses how to find the sum and product of roots for quadratic equations. It provides the standard form of a quadratic equation as ax2 + bx + c = 0 and defines the coefficients a, b, c and the roots α and β. The formulas given to find the sum and product of roots are: Sum of roots = -b/a Product of roots = c/a Six example quadratic equations are then provided and spaces are given to write the sum, product, and roots for each equation.

    The Sum and the Product of

    Roots of Quadratic Equations


    If a quadratic equation is given in standard form, we
    can find the sum and product of the roots using
    coefficient of x2, x and constant term. Let us consider
    the standard form of a quadratic equation, ax 2 + bx + c
    = 0 (Here a, b and c are real and rational numbers) Let
    α and β be the two zeros of the above quadratic
    equation. Then the formula to get sum and product of
    the roots of a quadratic equation is,

    Find the sum and product of roots of the


    quadratic equation given below.
    1. x2 + 4x + 3 = 0
    4. 2x2 + 3x – 2 = 0
    Sum: ____________
    Sum: __________
