The quadratic equation 2x^2 + 8x + 1 = 0 has roots a and b. Write down the value of a + b, a*b and a^2 + b^2.

Using Vieta's formulas, which make the correspondence between the sums and products of the roots of a polynomial and its coefficients, we can deduce that a + b = (-8)/2 = -4, ab = 1/2 =0.5 and a^2 ...
