Mistakes i make in mathematics


Look at the derivation for the roots of a quadratic equation.
Here the roots have been derived by differentiating the equation!!!.
From the roots, the equation is got back by complimentary operation.
But the roots so got by differentiation is not the same as the roots as got using sridhara's formula.
There is a severe fundamental error in the derivation shown above; its simple but serious. Find out.
