(a+b)(a+b) = a + 2ab + b
2 2
(a-b)(a-b) = a - 2ab + b
2 2
(a-b)(a+b) = a - b

d = rt (distance) = (rate)*(time)
If x + bx + c = (x + r)(x + s) ,
2
Then r + s = b and rs = c.
The roots of a quadratic are the values of x that make the equation equal to 0.
If ax + bx + c = 0, then:
sum of the roots = -
product of the roots =

b
a

c
a
If x + bx + c = (x + r)(x + s)
2
Then r + s = b and rs = c.
