Equation with Absolute Value!

Algebra Level 4

x x + x 2 = 2 \large \dfrac{|x|}{x} + x^2 = 2

Let r i r_i be the roots of the following equation, for i = 1 , 2 , n i = 1 , 2 \ldots, n with n as the number of roots of the equation above.

Evaluate i = 1 n sgn ( r i ) r i 2 \displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^n \text{sgn} (r_i) \cdot r_i^2 .

Notation : sgn ( x ) \text{sgn}(x) denote the signum function, { s g n ( x ) = 1 , x > 0 s g n ( x ) = 0 , x = 0 s g n ( x ) = 1 , x < 0 \begin{cases} sgn(x) =1, x > 0 \\ sgn(x) = 0 , x = 0 \\ sgn(x) = -1 , x < 0 \end{cases} .


The answer is -2.
