these roots when added gives 17
and multiplied 6

Answer 4

how do you find that @sririam? Quadratic equation?

Answer 5

in the quadreatic ax^2+bx+c
sum of roots =-b/a
and their product=c/a
hence we want 2 numbers whose product=6
and sum=17
i took a=1
then -b=17 & c=6

Answer 6

storing away that piece of knowledge :-)... thanks!

No wait- I mean how did you get the 0.4 and 16.2
