    Vieta's Formulae

    AHL 2.12

    By expanding

    a(x−α)(x−β)=ax2+a(α+β)x+aαβ


    we notice that the sum α+β and product αβ of the roots directly impact the general form of the quadratic.


    In a quadratic ax2+bx+c, the roots α and β satisfy

    α+β=−ab​
    αβ=ac​

    Example

    Find the sum and product of the roots of 5x2−10x+3.


    The sum is α+β=−ab​=−5−10​=2 and the product is αβ=ac​=53​.
