About Course

In this course, you will learn the powerful relationship between the roots of an equation and its coefficients. You will understand how to use these relationships to solve problems faster and smarter.

You will also learn about symmetric functions of roots – expressions that remain the same no matter which root is which. This is a key topic in advanced algebra and a favorite in exams.

No need to solve the equation fully. Just understand the connection, and the answers will reveal themselves.

  • What are symmetric functions?

  • Why symmetry matters

  • Finding α² + β² (sum of squares)

  • Finding α³ + β³ (sum of cubes)

  • Finding 1/α + 1/β (sum of reciprocals)

  • Finding α²β + αβ²

  • Worked examples step by step and more
