best_answer

\\4s^2 - 4s + 1 = 0 \\4s^2 - 2s - 2s + 1 = 0 \\2s(2s-1) - 1(2s-1) = 0 \\(2s-1)(2s-1) = 0

The zeroes of the given quadratic polynomial are 1/2 and 1/2

\\\alpha =\frac{1}{2}\\ \beta =\frac{1}{2}

VERIFICATION

Sum of roots:

\\\alpha +\beta =\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=1

\\-\frac{coefficient\ of\ x}{coefficient\ of\ x^{2}}\\ =-\frac{-4}{4}\\ =1\\=\alpha +\beta

Verified

Product of roots:

\alpha \beta =\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{4}

\\\frac{constant\ term}{coefficient\ of\ x^{2}}\\ =\frac{1}{4}\\ =\alpha \beta
