SHORT NOTE 1

Sum of Roots ( SOR ) and Product of Roots ( POR )

If α and β are roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0,

JIka m dan n adalah punca-punca bagi persamaan kuadratik ax2 + bx + c = 0,
b
−
then sum of roots (SOR) = α+ β = a
b
−
maka hasil tambah punca (SOR) = α+ β = a
c
and product of roots (POR) = αβ = a
c
dan hasil darab punca (POR) = αβ = a

SHORT NOTE 2

Forming Quadratic Equations / Membentuk Persamaan Kuadratik

Given α and β are roots of a quadratic equation,

sum of roots (SOR) = α+ β

product of roots (POR) = αβ

Quadratic equation is (Persamaan Kuadratik): x2 – (SOR)x + POR = 0

Activity 2
Form the quadratic equation with the given roots and write your answer in the general form ax2 + bx + c= 0.
Bentukkan persamaan kuadratik dari punca-punca yang diberi dan tuliskan jawapan anda dalam bentuk
am ax2 + bx + c= 0.

1. 2 , 3 2. -3 , 5

SOR = 2 + 3 = 5 SOR = -3 + 5 = 2

POR = 2 (3) = 6 POR = -3(5) = -15

x2 – (SOR)x + POR = 0 x2 – (SOR)x + POR = 0

x2 – 5x + 6 = 0 x2 – 2x + (-15) = 0

x2 – 2x -15 = 0

SOR = 4 + (-7) = -3 SOR = -5+ (-2) = -7

POR = 4(-7) = -28 POR = -5(-2) = 10

x2 – (SOR)x + POR = 0 x2 – (SOR)x + POR = 0

x2 – (-3)x + (-28) = 0 x2 – (-7)x + 10 = 0

x2 + 3x - 28 = 0 x2 + 7x + 10 = 0
