Question

What is the Sum of Roots of x^2+9x+14=0?

Answer 1

x=-2,x=-7

Explanation:

quadratic equation form ax^2+bx+c=0

Answer 2

- 9

Explanation:

Given a quadratic equation in standard form

ax² + bx + c = 0 ( a ≠ 0 ) , then

the sum of the roots =
`(-b)/(a)`

x² + 9x + 14 = 0 ← is in standard form

with a = 1 and b = 9 , thus

sum of roots =
`(-9)/(1)` = - 9
