Parabol, The Fourth Eye

Level pending

For a ² > 4 b a² > 4b , let the function S ( a , b ) S(a,b) be the area of the quadrilateral defined by four selected points of the parabola y = x ² + a x + b y =x²+ax+b , respectively the y-axis interception, the first x-axis interception, the vertex and the second x-axis interception.

The value of the expression

S ( 2 , 4 ) S ( 2 , 4 ) \displaystyle \dfrac{S(-2,-4)}{S(2,-4)}

can be written as an irreducible fraction m n \dfrac{m}{n} . Evaluate m + n m+n .
