Question

1. Find the Zeroes of the following quadratic polynomial and verify the relationship between
the zeroes and the coefficients

${x}^{2} - 2x - 8$
​

Answer 1

Answer:

what did margie write in her diary ? had margie even seen a book before? how old r margie and tommy ?

Answer 2

Answer:

f(x)=x

2

−2x−8

⇒f(x)=x

2

−4x+2x−8

⇒f(x)=x(x−4)+2(x−4)]

⇒f(x)=(x−4)(x+2)

Zeros of f(x) are given by f(x) = 0

⇒x

2

−2x−8=0s

⇒(x−4)(x+2)=0

⇒x=4 or x=−2

So, α=4 and β=−2

∴ sum of zeros =α+β=4−2=2
