Chap . 2 . ALGEBRA . 327 The roots of the equationjy 1 + py + q o are … — AC ± CB ; as is demonstrated in the fame manner . § 24 . The roots of the equation y * — py — q r = o are determined by this construction . Take AB — \ p , BC — y/ ? , draw AC ; and the two roots stiall be AB ± AC . ] f the fe - A j ; P B cond term is positive , then the roots shall be - AB ± AC…
