Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the sum of the roots of the equation x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0?
Correct Answer: 7
  • Step 1: Identify the coefficients in the quadratic equation x^2 - 7x + 10 = 0. Here, a = 1, b = -7, and c = 10.
  • Step 2: Use the formula for the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation, which is -b/a.
  • Step 3: Substitute the value of b (-7) and a (1) into the formula: -(-7)/1.
  • Step 4: Simplify the expression: 7/1 = 7.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the sum of the roots is 7.
