ax²+bx+c=0 The solutions areand cy²+by+a=0 The solutions are and They are reciprocals then their product must be 1: Let's multiply the solution of the first with a positive radical times the solution of the second with a negative radical: The two factors in the numerators are conjugates so FOILing them causes outers and inners to cancel, so we get: = = = = 1 so they are reciprocals. Multiplying the other pair gives the same results. Edwin
