Review of Previous Lesson
How can the sum and product of the roots
of the quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0 be
2
obtained without solving the equation?
How can you obtain the quadratic equation
if the two roots are known?
●Denote the roots of a quadratic equation
ax + bx + c = 0, where a ≠ 0, as S1 and S2.
2

●By quadratic formula the two roots are;

and
●The sum of the roots is;

S1 + S2 +
=

The sum of two roots of a quadratic


S1 + S2 = equation.
●The product of the roots is;

S1S2 = x

S1S2 = The product of two roots of a


quadratic equation.
❏ If S1 and S2 are the roots of the
quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0,
2

a ≠ 0, then

S1 + S2 and S1S2 =
=
Example 1: Find the sum and product of the
roots of the equation 2x + 5x + 7 = 0.
2

Solution:
a = 2, b = 5, c = 7 Identify the values of a, b, and c.

𝟓
S1 + S2 = or -
𝟐

S1S2 =
❏ The quadratic equation can be
written as,

x 2 - (sum of roots)x + (product of roots) = 0


Example 2: What is the quadratic equation
whose roots are 2 and -5?
Solution: S1 = 2, S2 = -5

S1 + S2 = 2 + (-5) = -3 S1S2 = 2(-5) = -10


Solution:
S1 + S2 = 2 + (-5) = -3 S1S2 = 2(-5) = -10

Therefore, the equation is


x2 - (sum of roots)x + (product of roots) = 0

x2 - (-3)x + (-10) = 0
x2 + 3x - 10 = 0
Key Takeaways
❏ If S1 and S2 are the roots of the
quadratic equation ax + bx + c = 0,
2

a ≠ 0, then

S1 + S2 and S1S2 =
=
❏ The quadratic equation can be
written as,

x 2 - (sum of roots)x + (product of roots) = 0
