Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the sum of the roots of the equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0?
Correct Answer: 5
  • Step 1: Identify the coefficients in the equation x^2 - 5x + 6 = 0. Here, a = 1, b = -5, and c = 6.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation, which is -b/a.
  • Step 3: Substitute the values of b and a into the formula: -(-5)/1.
  • Step 4: Simplify the expression: 5/1 = 5.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the sum of the roots is 5.
