Given equation: ax^2 +bx+c=0 α+β=−(b/a) , αβ=(c/a),α−β=((√(b^2 −4ac))/a) Required equation: Sum of the roots=((1/α)+(1/β))+((1/α)−(1/β)) =((α+β)/(αβ))+((−(α−β))/(αβ)) =(((−b/a)−((√(b^2 −4ac)) )/a)/((c/a)))=((−b−(√(b^2 −4ac)) )/c) Product of roots=((1/α)+(1/β))((1/α)−(1/β)) = (1/α^2 )−(1/β^2 )=((−(α+β)(α−β))/((αβ)^2 )) =((−(−b/a)(−b−(√(b^2 −4ac)) /c))/((c/a)^2 )) =−((ab)/c^3 )(b+(√(b^2 −4ac)) ) x^2 −(Sum of the roots)x+(product of the roots)=0 x^2 −(((−b−(√(b^2 −4ac)) )/c))x−((ab)/c^3 )(b+(√(b^2 −4ac)) )=0 c^3 x^2 +c^2 (b+(√(b^2 −4ac)) )x−ab(b+(√(b^2 −4ac)) )=0
