- D
Step-by-Step Solution
The roots add to −/a and multiply to /a. Squaring the sum: sinθ·cosθ, so , and multiplying through by gives . Concrete case θ = 45°, where both roots are 1/√2: the equation is − √, and indeed . Losing the sign on the product gives , dropping the factor 2 gives , and the relation cannot be rearranged into .
Answer: A)
