Answer:
Use the identity a2-b2=(a-b)(a+b)
x2-3 = (x-√3) (x+√3)
So , the value of x2 - 3 is zero when x = √3 or x = -√3
Therefore ,. the zeroes of x2-3 are √3 and -√3
Now,
Sum of zeroes = √3-√3=0 = -(Coefficient of x)/Coefficient of x2
Product of zeroes = (√3) (-√3) = -3 = -3/1 = Constant term/ Coefficient of x2
