Answer 1

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

x² + bx + c = 0 if x₁ + x₂ = -b and x₁x₂ = c

Solving :-

a) x₁ = 1/2 and x₂ = -3/4

=> x² + -(1/2 + -3/4)x + 1/2(-3/4)

=> x² + -(-1/4)x + (-3/8)

=> x² + 1/4x - 3/8

=> 8x² + 2x - 3 = 0

b) x₁ = 1 + √5 and x₂ = 1 - √5

=> x² + -(1 + √5 + 1 - √5)x + (1 + √5)(1 - √5)

=> x² - 2x + 1 - 5

=> x² - 2x - 4 = 0
