Math Problem Statement

give the sum and product of the roots of the equation 2x²+3=6x

Solution

To find the sum and product of the roots of the quadratic equation 2x2+3=6x2x^2 + 3 = 6x, let's first rewrite the equation in standard form:

2x26x+3=02x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0

Now, for a quadratic equation of the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0:

  • The sum of the roots is given by ba-\frac{b}{a}.
  • The product of the roots is given by ca\frac{c}{a}.

For the equation 2x26x+3=02x^2 - 6x + 3 = 0:

  • a=2a = 2
  • b=6b = -6
  • c=3c = 3

Sum of the roots:

Sum=ba=62=62=3\text{Sum} = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-6}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3

Product of the roots:

Product=ca=32\text{Product} = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{3}{2}

Final Answer:

  • The sum of the roots is 33.
  • The product of the roots is 32\frac{3}{2}.
