Question

The sum of the roots of 3x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0 is

Answer 1

Answer:

$- \frac{5}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of roots of any quadratic equation is:

$- \frac{b}{a}$

Therefore substituting values of a and b we get:

$- \frac{5}{3}$

Answer 2

Given;3x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

To Find; Sum of roots

Solution; Given equation is 3x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

Comparing it with standard equation ax² + bx + c

a=3; b=5 ;c=2

Sum of roots is given by the formula -b/a

So putting the values in the formula we get sum of roots

Sum of roots= -5/3

Hence sum of roots is -5/3
