. Find the sum and product of the roots of the
quadratic equation: x2-5x+8=0
Best Answer
Explanation:
The general form of the quadratic equation is ax2+bx+c-0,
The formula for sum of the roots is -b/a,
And, The formula for product of the roots is c/a
In the question we can see that a= 1,b = - 5 and c = 8
sum of roots = - (-5) /1 =5
product of roots =8/1 =8
Final Answer:
The sum of roots = 5
The product of roots = 8
