Find the sum and product of the roots. 3x 2 - 4x - 7 = 0

Part 1) The sum of the roots is

Part 2) The product of the roots is

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the roots

we have

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form is equal to

in this problem we have

so

substitute in the formula

Step 2

Find the sum of the roots

Step 3

Find the product of the roots

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!

my guess would be b and d, but i didn’t actually get out the pen and paper. lol
