Answer:
ax² + bx + c= 0 -1
⇒ a{ x² + (b/a) x + c/a } = 0
⇒ { x² + (b/a) x + c/a } = 0 , as a≠0
⇒ { x² - (-b/a) x + c/a } = 0
⇒ { x² - (α+β) x + (α*β)} = 0 , where α & β are the roots of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c= 0.
[ As proved in the previous page, α+β = -b/a, & α*β = c/a ]
Thus, the quadratic equation whose roots are α & β is given by -
x² - (α+β) x + (α*β) = 0
or, x² - (sum of roots) x + (product of roots) = 0
