Question#1
x2 + 6x -55 = 0 and root1 = 5, root2 = -11
a = _1_ b = _6_ c = _-55_
Question #2
x2 + 6x -55 = 0 and root1 = 5, root2 = -11
(-b/a)= -_6_ / _1_ = -6
Question #3
x2 + 6x -55 = 0 and root1 = 5, root2 = -11
root1 + root2 = 5 + -11 = _-6__
Question #4
x2 + 6x -55 = 0 and root1 = 5, root2 = -11
The sum of the roots is the same as (Hint: use letters)
= -_ba_ /__
Question #5
x2 + 6x -55 = 0 and root1 = 5, root2 = -11
(c/a) = _-55_ /_1_ = -55
Question #6
x2 + 6x -55 = 0 and root1 = 5, root2 = -11
root1 x root2 = 5 x (-11) = _-55__
Question #7
x2 + 6x -55 = 0 and root1 = 5, root2 = -11
The product of the roots is the same as (Hint: use letters)
= - __c_ /_a__
Question #8
8x2 - 2x = 1 and root1= 1/2 root2= -1/4
Identify a, b, and c. (Hint: you may have to arrange the equation in the form ax2+ bx + c = 0 .)
a =__8_ b = _-2__ c = _-1__
Question #9
8x2 - 2x = 1 and root1= 1/2 root2= -1/4
(-b/a)= -__-2_ /_8__ = 1/4
Question #10
8x2 - 2x = 1 and root1= 1/2 root2= -1/4
root1 + root2 =(1/2)+(-1/4)= __1/4--_
Question #11
8x2 - 2x = 1 and root1= 1/2 root2= -1/4
The sum of the roots is the same as (Hint: use letters)
= _-b/a___
Question #12
8x2 - 2x = 1 and root1= 1/2 root2= -1/4
(c/a)= _-1___ /_8__ = -1/8
Question #13
8x2 - 2x = 1 and root1= 1/2 root2= -1/4
root1 x root2 = (1/2)(-1/4) = _-1/8__
