#Formula to find the sum and product of the roots of the quadratic equation
#Formula to find the sum and product of the roots of the quadratic equation
#Identity (a+b)^3=a^3+b^3+3ab(a+b)
#Identity (a+b)^3=a^3+b^3+3ab(a+b)
+Algorithm:
+Consider the equation 2a^2-4a+1=0<br>
+Here a=2,b=-4 & c=1<br>
+If p & q are the roots of the quadratic equation then<br>
+p+q=-b/a=-(-4)/2=2<br>
+pq=c/a=1/2<br>
+Therefore,<br>
+p^3+q^3=(p+q)^3-3pq(p+q)<br>
+ =(2)^3-3(1/2)(2)<br>
+ =8-3<br>
+ =5
