6. (11 marks) If b2 - 4c > 0, then the equation za + bx +c=0 has two real unequal roots. Let f(b,c) be the larger of these roots. a) Write down a formula for f(b, c). b) It is easy to verify that -1 is the larger of the two roots of za +50+4 = 0. Use a suitable linear approximation to f(b, c) to estimate the larger of the roots to the equation x2 +0.5x + 4.06 = 0.(No credit will be given for a method that does not use linear approximation.)
