Let α,β and y be the zeros of polynomial f(x) such that ab=12

We have, α+β+y=

−(−5)

=5

αβ+βy+yα=

−24

=−24

Putting αβ=12 in αβy=−24, we get

12y=−24 ⇒ y=−

12

24

=−2

Now ,α+β+y=5 ⇒ α+β−2=5

⇒ α+β=7 ⇒ α=7−β

∴αβ=12

⇒(7−β)β=12 ⇒

7β−β

=12

⇒β

−7β+12=0 ⇒ β

−3β−4β+12=0

⇒β=4 or β=3

∴α=3 or α=4
