Answer» Answer :1/α + 1/ß = -b/c NOTE:★ The possible VALUES of the variable which satisfy the EQUATION are called its roots or solutions . ★ A quadratic equation can have atmost two roots . ★ The general form of a quadratic equation is given as ; ax² + BX + c = 0 ★ If α and ß are the roots of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 , then ; • Sum of roots , (α + ß) = -b/a • Product of roots , (αß) = c/a Solution :Here , The given quadratic equation is : ax² + bx + c = 0 . Also , It is given that , α and ß are the roots of the given quadratic equation . Thus , The sum of roots will be given as ; α + ß = -b/a Also , The product of roots will be given as ; α•ß = c/a Now , => 1/α + 1/ß = (ß + α)/α•ß => 1/α + 1/ß = (α + ß)/α•ß => 1/α + 1/ß = (-b/a) / (c/a) => 1/α + 1/ß = (-b/a) × (a/c) => 1/α + 1/ß = -b/c Hence ,1/α + 1/ß = -b/c |
