Question

4/
If a, ß are the zeros of the polynomial f(x) = x + x + 1, then find the value of 1/a and 1/ b​

Answer 1

Answer:

-1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know that the sum of the roots is -b/a and product of the roots is c/a.

1/a+1/b=a+b/ab----- 1

a+b=>-b/a= -1/1

= -1-------- 2

then ab=c/a

=>1/1=1-------- 3

substituting 2 and 3 in 1 we get,

-1/1= -1.
