Step-by-step explanation:
x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a
where a, b, and c are coefficients.
In this,
a = a
b = -b
c = c
The plus/minus sign indicates that we will have two solutions. Suppose that root p was found using the plus and root q was found using the minus. We will have these roots.
p = (b + √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a and
q = (b - √(b2 - 4ac)) / 2a
Since we want to find the value of p + q, we simply add the formula.
p + q = ((b + √(b2 - 4ac)) + (b - √(b2 - 4ac))) / 2a
The square-root terms cancel each other out.
p + q = 2b / 2a
p + q = b / a
