Which one of the following correctly gives the sum and product of the zeros α\alpha and β\beta of the quadratic polynomial ax2+bx+c (a≠0)ax^{2}+bx+c\,(a\neq0)? a) α+β=−ba,  αβ=ca\alpha+\beta=-\dfrac{b}{a},\;\alpha\beta=\dfrac{c}{a} b) α+β=ba,  αβ=−ca\alpha+\beta=\dfrac{b}{a},\;\alpha\beta=-\dfrac{c}{a} c) α+β=−ca,  αβ=ba\alpha+\beta=-\dfrac{c}{a},\;\alpha\beta=\dfrac{b}{a} d) α+β=−b2a,  αβ=ca\alpha+\beta=-\dfrac{b}{2a},\;\alpha\beta=\dfrac{c}{a}
