06 · SELF-PRACTICE TIPS

Tips for Solving Board PYQs

01

Always write down α + β = -b/a and αβ = c/a first before simplifying algebra.

02

Use identities like α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ to evaluate expressions without finding roots.

03

When zeroes are reciprocal (α and 1/α), product of zeroes α · (1/α) = 1 ⟹ c/a = 1 ⟹ c = a!
