Please help me solve this question (and incled workings) :) (Please wait for me to attach the image)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (king):

alpha = [-b+sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a beta=[-b-sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2a

OpenStudy (king):

take sqrt(b^2-4ac) as x then alpha =(-b+x)/2a beta=(-b-x)/2a alpha +beta =(-b+x-b-x)/2a=-2b/2a=-b/a

OpenStudy (king):

similarly alpha*beta=[(x-b)(-x-b)]/4a^2 =(-x^2+b^2)/4a^2 =(b^2-b^2+4ac)/4a^2 =4ac/4a^2 =c/a

OpenStudy (mertsj):

\[\alpha=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-b}{2a}+\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] \[\beta=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-b}{2a}-\frac{\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] \[\alpha+\beta=\frac{-2b}{2a}=\frac{-b}{a}\]
