The ratio of the coefficient of the quadratic term to the constant term is; a/b = 4
How to interpret quadratic equation formula?
We are told that;
1) The coefficient of the quadratic term and the coefficient of the linear term of a quadratic are equal.
2) the quadratic has a double root
Now, for the quadratic equation to be a perfect square, it must be of the form ax² + ax + b and also for this to be a perfect square, it must be (√ax+ √b)² which is ax² + b + 2(√ab)x.
Thus, we have 2√ab = a
Square both sides to get;
4ab = a²
Taking square root of both sides gives us;
a/b = 4.
Thus, the ratio of the coefficient of the quadratic term to the constant term is; a/b = 4
