This math topic focuses on the relationship between the roots (a and b) of a quadratic equation and their sum and product. Each problem provides a quadratic equation in the form of \(x^2 + cx + d = (x+a)(x+b)\) and multiple choices for the values of \(a+b\) (sum of the roots) and \(ab\) (product of the roots). Students must determine which pair of values correctly corresponds to the roots of the given quadratic equation. This exercises students' understanding of polynomial algebra, specifically how the coefficients of a quadratic equation relate to the sum and product of its roots.
