Question

find the relationship between the coefficient of X^ 2 - 2x - 8​

Answer 1

Answer:

let,

P(x)=>x^2-2x-8=0

=>x^2-4x+2x-8=0

=>x(x-4)+2(x-4)=0

=>(x+2)(x-4)=0

Therefore,

x+2=0 or x-4=0

=>x= -2. =>x=4

Therefore, the zeros of the polynomials are -2 and 4

Sum of zeros= -2+4=2= -(-2)/1= -(coefficient of x)/coefficient of x^2

product of zeros= (-2)(4)= -8= -8/1= constant term/coefficient of x^2

Answer 2

Answer:

coefficient of X is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

because the equation is x^2-2x-8 and if there is a '-' or '+' sign the term is separated

so the term is -2x , and coefficient is the numeric value in a term beside the variable

.so hence numeric value is -2
