Question

the equation ax^2+13x+c=0 has two distinct roots. the sum of roots is 13/4 and the product of root is -3. Find the value of coefficients a and c.​


Give a helpful answer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

sum of roots=-b/a=13/4

in given eqn b=13

by substuting value of b we get a=-4

product of roots=-3 =c/a

by substuting value of a we get c=-12
