Observe the sum and the product of the roots of each quadratic equation. How do you relate the coefficients a, b, and c of the given quadratic equation to the sum of its roots? How about the product of its roots?
3. In my opinion the sum of the root just copied the coefficient B without including the signs. In the product its the same, copying the coefficient B without including the signs the difference is it copied coefficient C too and it includes the original sign of the coefficient
