Let r and s be the roots of 3x^2 + 4x + 12 = 2x^2 + 3x + 11. Find r^2 + s^2.

3x^2 + 4x + 12 = 2x^2 + 3x + 11

x^2 + x + 1 = 0

 

We're going to use vieta's formula. (https://artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.php/Vieta%27s_Formulas) 

r^2 + s^2 = (r+s)^2 - 2rs

r^2 + s^2 = (-1)^2 - 2(1)

r^2 + s^2 = 1 - 2

-1

 

I hope this helped. :))
