Find the sum and product of the roots of each equation of 2x^(2) - 8x + 8 = 0

Question

Find the sum and product of the roots of each equation of
`2x^(2)` - 8x + 8 = 0

Answer 1

Answer: Sum (b) = -4

Product (c) = 4

Explanation:

In the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c

• b represents the sum of the roots
• c represents the product of the roots

2x² - 8x + 8 = 0

2(x² - 4x + 4 = 0)

↓ ↓

b= -4 c= 4
