Nature of Roots - Expanded Thinking |
|
Have students stretch those algebra
skills and thinking skills
with these more challenging problems involving the sum and the
product of the roots:
| 1. |
 |
 |
| |
If the roots of this
equation are expressed as r1 and r2, find
the value
of (r1)2 + (r2)2 using
the information about sum and product of roots. |
| |
|
|
| 2. |
 |
 |
| |
If the roots of this
equation are expressed as r1 and r2,
write the equation whose roots are
by using the information about sum and product of roots. |
