Question

find the difference of zeros of quadratic polynomial x square - 2 x minus 8

Answer 1

Hey MATE!!

We first find out the zeroes of the given polynomial.

$= > {x}^{2} - 2x - 8 \\ \\ = > {x}^{2} - 4x - 2x - 8 \\ \\ = > x(x - 4) + 2(x - 4) \\ \\ = > (x + 2)(x - 4)$

Hence the zeroes are => -2 and +4.

The difference between them is :

-2 - 4 => -6 or 4-(-2) = 6

Hope it helps
