One of the things that IB likes to do in examinations, is to ask a question that requires knowledge from different areas of the course. This can be quite challenging and often something that textbooks do not give you practice in. This question is about sums and products of roots of polynomial equations, but requires some interesting problem-solving skils, since the roots of the equation are terms of an arithmetic sequence. Here is the question:</p> <hr> <p>Consider the equation <span class="math-tex">\(64x^{ 3 }−144x^{ 2 }+92x−15=0\)</span></p> <ol style="list-style-type:lower-alpha;"> <li>Write down the numerical value of the sum and the product of the roots of this equation.</li> <li>The roots of this equation are three consecutive terms of an arithmetic sequence.
