Answer:

The sum of the roots of the equation x^{2} + x = 2 is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two options to find the sum of the roots,

  1. The first option is to use the Quadratic Formula to find the two roots:

x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

x^{2} + x - 2= where:

a = 1

b = 1

c = -2

x_{1} = \frac{-1-\sqrt{1^{2}-4*1*-2}}{2*1} = -2

x_{2} = \frac{-1+\sqrt{1^{2}-4*1*-2}}{2*1} = 1

The sum of the roots is -2 + 1 = -1

    2. The second option is use the fact that a general quadratic equation is in the form of:

ax^{2}+bx+c=0

if you divided by a you get:

x^{2}+\frac{b}{a} x+\frac{c}{a} =0

and always the sum of roots will be given for this expression x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{-b}{a}

Why this is true?

Because if we use the Quadratic Formula as follows:

x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2*a} + \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}

x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{-2b+0}{2a}}

x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{-b}{a}

In the case of this equation:

x_{1} + x_{2} = \frac{-1}{1} = -1

Solve this equation 2x - 3=2x - 5
Alex
When you calculate 2x-3=2x-5 it’s going to lead as -3=-5, therefore this statement is inaccurate and doesn’t have a value of x, it doesn’t even have a solution.
