Example1. Find the quadratic equation whose roots are Alpha = 3, Beta = -4
Solution: Let `alpha=3` and `beta=-4`
Then, the sum of the roots `= alpha+beta=(3)+(-4)=-1`
and the product of the roots `= alpha*beta=(3)*(-4)=-12`
The equation with roots `alpha` and `beta` is given by
`x^2-(alpha+beta)x+alpha*beta=0`
`:.x^2-(-1)x+(-12)=0`
`:.x^2+x-12=0`
