Sum and Product of Roots

This document provides examples of finding the sum and product of the roots of quadratic equations. It explains that for a quadratic equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0: - The sum of the roots is equal to -b/a - The product of the roots is equal to c/a It then works through 5 examples, providing the standard form of each equation and calculating the sum and product of roots based on the a, b, and c values. An activity at the end asks the reader to solve for the sum and product of roots for 5 additional quadratic equations.

Sum & Product of Roots of a Quadratic Equation
••  In
this lesson, we will simply get the sum and the product of a quadratic
equations.

Example:
• The roots of an equation is 5 and 2. The sum of the roots will be 7 (because
5+2), and the product of the roots will be 10 (because 5 2).

• Example 1:
What is the sum and product of the roots of x2 – 3x + 2 = 0?

A. Factoring Method:
x2 – 3x + 2 = 0
(x-2)(x-1) = 0

x–2=0 x–1=0
