The sum of the roots of 8x² - 2x = 1 is: a. -1/4 b. 1/4 c. -1/8

The sum of the roots is . By the fundamental theorem of algebra, a quadratic polynomial has 2 roots and can be written as

so the sum of the roots is -1 times the coefficient of the degree 1 term.

c is the final answer! : )

where is the rest of the
