Verified answer
X² + 3x + 4a = 1 , b = 3 , c = 4
a) p + q = - b/a = - 3/1 = - 3
b) p • q = c/a = 4/1 = 4
c) p² + q²
= ( p + q )² - 2pq
= ( - 3)² - 2(4)
= 9 - 8
= 1
d) 1/p + 1/q
= q + p
-----------
p • q
= - 3
---------
4
= - ¾
e) p/q + q/p
= p² + q²
---------------
pq
= ( p + q )² - 2pq
--------------------------
pq
= ( - 3 )² - 2(4 )
--------------------
4
= 9 - 8
-----------
4
= ¼
