Q. 1462 -146\sqrt{2} is a root of f(x)=x242,632 f(x) = x^2 - 42,632 . Find the other roots of f(x) f(x) .\newlineWrite your answer as a list of simplified values separated by commas, if there is more than one value.
  1. Identify root relationship: Since 1462-146\sqrt{2} is a root, the other root will also be the negative of this value because the sum of the roots of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is b/a-b/a. In this case, b=0b = 0, so the sum of the roots is 00.
  2. Calculate second root: The other root is 1462146\sqrt{2}. We can check this by adding the roots: 1462+1462=0-146\sqrt{2} + 146\sqrt{2} = 0, which satisfies the condition that the sum of the roots is 00.
  3. List all roots: List the roots: 1462-146\sqrt{2}, 1462146\sqrt{2}.
