Any quadratic equation will be in the form
y = ax2 + bx + c
It has two roots or zeroes α and β.
Using the above roots, quadratic equation can be created using the formula given below.
x2 - (α + β) x + α β = 0
Here, α + β = Sum of roots
α β = Product of roots

16x2 – 16x + 3 = 0
Problem 11 :
5/8, 5/7
Solution :
α = 5/8
β = 5/7
α + β = 5/8 + 5/7
= 5/8 × 7/7 + 5/7 × 8/8
= 35/56 + 40/56
= 75/56
α × β = 5/8 × 5/7
= 25/56
x2 – (α + β)x + αβ = 0
x2 – (75/56)x + 25/56 = 0

1/2, 1/3
Solution :
α = 1/2
β = 1/3
α + β = 1/2 + 1/3
= 1/2 × 3/3 + 1/3 × 2/2
= 3/6 + 2/6
= 5/6
α × β = 1/2 × 1/3
= 1/6
x2 – (α + β)x + αβ = 0
