Find the zeroes of the following polynomials by factorisation method and verify the relations between the zeroes and the coefficients of the polynomials:
Answer.
Solution. Zeroes : zeroes of the polynomial are the value(s) that makes it equal to 0.
=0
Multiply by 2
=0
=0
=0
=0
Hence, are the zeroes of the polynomial
Here, a = 2, b = , c = –10
Sum of zeroes
Here,
Product of zeroes
