Question 918069: While attempting to solve a quadratic equation, I inadvertently interchanged the co-efficient of the x^2 term with the constant term, causing the equation to change. I solved this different equation accurately. One of the roots I got was 2 and the other was a root from the original equation. The sum of the squares of the two roots of the original equation is? Please show working
