Since one root is: , then other root is: 
\n" );
document.write( "Sum of roots:  = 4
\n" );
document.write( "Sum of roots: , so  --------- eq (i)\r
\n" );
document.write( "\n" );
document.write( "Product of roots:  -----> 4 - 2, or 2
\n" );
document.write( "Product of roots: , so ________________ 
\n" );
document.write( " ---------- Substituting 1 for a in eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "- b = 4 ---------- Cross-multiplying
\n" );
document.write( " \n" );
document.write( "

\n" );
