The document explains Vieta's Formulas for quadratic equations, which relate the coefficients of the equation to the sum and product of its roots. Specifically, it states that for a quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the sum of the roots (α + β) is -b/a and the product of the roots (αβ) is c/a. An example is provided to illustrate these formulas using the equation 2x² - 5x + 3 = 0.

Perfect 👌 let’s break it down clearly:

📘 Vieta’s Formulas (for Quadratic Equations)


Suppose you have a quadratic equation in the general form:

ax2 + bx + c = 0, a=0

Let the roots of the equation be α and β .


Vieta’s formulas connect the coefficients (a, b, c) with the roots (α, β ).

✨ The Formulas
1. Sum of the roots:

b
α+β =−
a
​

2. Product of the roots:

c
αβ =
a
​

📘 Example 1
Solve using Vieta’s relation:

Equation:

2x2 − 5x + 3 = 0

Here: a = 2, b = −5, c = 3.
Sum of roots = −b/a = −(−5)/2 = 5/2.
Product of roots = c/a = 3/2.
So the roots α, β satisfy:

α+β = , αβ = .
