\n" ); document.write( "The roots are:
\n" ); document.write( "(-b/(2a) + [sqrt(b^2-4ac]/(2a)
\n" ); document.write( "(-b/(2a) - [sqrt(b^2-4ac]/(2a)
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "If you add these you will get 2(-b/2a) = -b/a
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================================
\n" ); document.write( "If you multiply them them you will get:
\n" ); document.write( "(-b/2a)^2 - {[sqrt(b^2-4ac]/(2a)}^2
\n" ); document.write( "= (b^2/4a^2) - [(b^2-4ac)/(4a^2)]
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= +4ac/(4a^2)
\n" ); document.write( "= c/a
\n" ); document.write( "=======================================================
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the roots of the equation x squared - 20x = 0 is_____________________.
\n" ); document.write( "The sum of the roots of a quadratic are 2(-b/(2a) = -b/a
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "a = 1 ; b = -20 ; c = 0
\n" ); document.write( "Sum of roots = -(-20/1) = 20
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "The product of its roots is_________________.
\n" ); document.write( "The product of the roots is c/a = 0/1 = 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
