Question 911605: how to find the values a and b in an quadratic equation ,when one student took the wrong value of a and got the roots as 6 and 2 ,while another student took the wrog value of b and got the roots as 6 and 1 . what are the correct values of a and b, respectively Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (x-6)*(x-2)
x^2-8x+12
(x-6)*(x-1)
x^2-7x+7
a is the same in both.
-7 is the wrong value of b so the right value should be -8
Perhaps you mean the wrong values of b and c
