Problem

The roots of $Ax^2 \plus{} Bx \plus{} C \equal{} 0$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg) are $r$ and $s$. For the roots of $x^2+px +q =0$

to be $r^2$ and $s^2$, $p$ must equal:

$\textbf{(A)}\ \frac{B^2 \minus{} 4AC}{A^2}\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \frac{B^2 \minus{} 2AC}{A^2}\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \frac{2AC \minus{} B^2}{A^2}\qquad \\ \textbf{(D)}\ B^2 \minus{} 2C\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 2C \minus{} B^2$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)


Solution

$\fbox{}$
