Derivation of FormulaDerivation of Formula
Given Given αα and and ββ are roots of a quadratic are roots of a quadratic equation, we can infer thatequation, we can infer that
xx11 = = αα and x and x22 = = ββ , where , where αα and and ββ are just are just
some numbers.some numbers.
For example, xFor example, x22 – 5x + 6 = 0 has roots – 5x + 6 = 0 has roots αα and and ββ means that means that αα = 2 and = 2 and ββ = 3 = 3

However…However…
Sometimes, we do not need the values of x Sometimes, we do not need the values of x to help us solve the problem. to help us solve the problem.
Knowing the relationship between the Knowing the relationship between the quadratic equation and its roots helps us quadratic equation and its roots helps us save timesave time

Derivation of FormulaDerivation of Formulaaxax22 + bx + c = 0 has roots + bx + c = 0 has roots αα and and ββ –(1) –(1)
This tells us that:This tells us that: (x – (x – αα)(x – )(x – ββ) = 0) = 0
Expanding, we have:Expanding, we have: xx22 – – ααx – x – ββx + x + αβαβ = 0 = 0
xx22 –– ( (αα + + ββ)x + )x + αβαβ = 0 = 0
So, if we compare the above with (1):So, if we compare the above with (1):
xx22 + x + = 0 + x + = 0b
