Question 1047804
.
it is given that k is a root of quadratic equation x2+x+c = 0
Find the other root of equation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


<pre>
If k and p are the roots, then

k + p = -1     (the coefficient at x with the opposite sign).

Hence, the other root is p = -1-k.
</pre>

Another solution:


<pre>
If k and p are the roots, then

k*p = c     (the constant term).

Hence, the other root is p = {{{c/k}}}.  (If "k" is not zero !)
