Find product of zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 2x square-5x+2.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, the polynomial 2x²-5x + 2
Let, a = 2, b = -5, c = 2
Product of zeros = alpha × beta
alpha × beta = c/a
= 2/2
= 1

Given Equation
⇒2x² - 5x + 2 = 0
To Find
⇒The Sum and Product of Zeroes
Method :-1
Using factorization Method
⇒2x² - 5x + 2 = 0
⇒2x² - 4x -x + 2 = 0
⇒2x(x - 2) -1( x - 2) = 0
⇒(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0
⇒2x -1 = 0 and x - 2 = 0
⇒x = 1/2 and x = 2
⇒Let α = 1/2 , β = 2
Sum of Zeroes
⇒(α + β) = 1/2 + 2
⇒(α + β) = (1+4)/2
⇒(α + β) = 5/2
Product Of zeroes
⇒αβ = 1/2 × 2
⇒αβ = 1
Method:- 2
⇒In Equation 2x² - 5x + 2 = 0
⇒a = 2 , b = -5 and c = 2
Sum of zeroes = -b/a
⇒(α + β) = -(-5)/2
⇒(α + β) = 5/2
Product of zeroes = c/a
⇒(αβ) = 2/2
⇒αβ =1
