I don't understand it

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

if a>0 and b,c<0, then using the Cartesio rule we can state that there is a positive root and a negative root

OpenStudy (bellax2):

Okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

now, from the general theory, we can write this: \[{x_1} + {x_2} = - \left( {m + n} \right)\] where x1 and x2 are the above roots

OpenStudy (bellax2):

Okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

or this one: \[m + n = \left( { - {x_1}} \right) + \left( { - {x_2}} \right)\]

OpenStudy (bellax2):

I can eliminate A and B

OpenStudy (bellax2):

Im thinking it's C

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

let's suppose this: \[{x_1} > 0,\;\quad {x_2} < 0\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

then we can write this: \[\left| {{x_1}} \right| > \left| {{x_2}} \right|\]

OpenStudy (bellax2):

Oh I see, thankyou!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

then we can rewrite the above condition in this way: \[m + n = \left( { - {x_1}} \right) + \left( { - {x_2}} \right) = - \left| {{x_1}} \right| + \left| {{x_2}} \right|\]

OpenStudy (bellax2):

Okay, im writing this all down btw

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, \(m+n\) has to be negative since: \[\left| {{x_1}} \right| > \left| {{x_2}} \right|\]

OpenStudy (bellax2):

okay

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

I think it is option D

OpenStudy (bellax2):

Thankyou for the explanation ((: @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

:)
