best_answer

t2 - 15 = 0

(t-\sqrt{15})(t+\sqrt{15})=0

The zeroes of the given quadratic polynomial are -\sqrt{15} and \sqrt{15}

\\\alpha =-\sqrt{15}\\ \beta =\sqrt{15}

VERIFICATION

Sum of roots:

\\\alpha +\beta =-\sqrt{15}+\sqrt{15}=0

\\-\frac{coefficient\ of\ x}{coefficient\ of\ x^{2}}\\ =-\frac{0}{1}\\ =0\\=\alpha +\beta

Verified

Product of roots:

\alpha \beta =-\sqrt{15}\times \sqrt{15}=-15

\\\frac{constant\ term}{coefficient\ of\ x^{2}}\\ =\frac{-15}{1}\\=-15\\ =\alpha \beta
