1. You don't have quadratic equation. You have a quadratic trinomial. It can't be a quadratic equation because you haven't set it equal to anything.

2. You are apparently laboring under the misapprehension that the caret mark following a symbol means to square the thing previous to the caret mark. Not so. The caret mark means to raise the thing preceding the caret to the power of the symbol that follows the caret. So:

b^2 means

b^n means

Whereas

b^ doesn't mean anything at all.

2. I am presuming that you mean to say the roots of the quadratic equation



are and and that

Given that, you can say:





Therefore,

,

,

and

I don't know what you were trying to render, so I can't go much beyond this point.
