Step-by-step explanation:
Given-
α and 1/α are the zeros of a polynomial
p(x)=
which is in the quadratic form
here a=3, b=1 and c=k-2
If we see the relation of zeros
= -b/a = -1/3
α × 1/α = c/a = k-2/3
we have to find k so we take the 2nd relation i.e.,
α × 1/α = k-2/3
α and α get cancelled
1 = k-2/3
multiplying by 3 we get
1 x 3 = k-2/3 x 3
3 and 3 get cancelled, we get
3 = k-2
or
k-2 = 3
so,
k = 3 + 2
k = 5
