Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Find the sum of the roots of the equation 3x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0.
  • Step 1: Identify the coefficients in the quadratic equation 3x^2 - 12x + 9 = 0. Here, a = 3, b = -12, and c = 9.
  • 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 (-12) and a (3) into the formula: -(-12)/3.
  • Step 4: Simplify the expression: 12/3 = 4.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the sum of the roots is 4.
