when its roots are interchanged, the values of the expressions remain unaltered.

FORMATION OF A If the roots of a quadratic equation are given, you can form the quadratic equation.
QUADRATIC EQUATION IF 𝑥 2 − (sum of the roots)𝑥 +(product of the roots) = 0
ITS ROOTS ARE GIVEN 𝑥 2 − 𝛼 + 𝛽 𝑥 + 𝛼𝛽 = 0
