Help please

Step-by-step explanation:

Two numbers r and s sum up to \frac{1}{2} exactly when the average of the two numbers is \frac{1}{2}*\frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{4}. You can also see that the midpoint of r and s corresponds to the axis of symmetry of the parabola represented by the quadratic equation y=x^2+Bx+C.

answer: 2/4
