Vieta's Formula: Level 3 Challenges

         

Jason and Thompson were solving the quadratic equation x2+bx+c=0x^{2} + bx + c = 0.

Jason wrote down the wrong value of b,b, and found the roots to be 6 and 1. Thompson wrote down the wrong value of c,c, and found the roots to be −4-4 and −1.-1.

What are the actual roots of the equation?
