Question

Find the sum and the product of the zeros of 32 - 5x + 6​

Answer 1

Answer:

we have to find sum and product of zeroes of the given polynomial 3x² - 5x + 6. we know, for general form of quadratic

polynomial, ax² + bx + c

• sum of zeroes - coefficient of x/

coefficient of x² = -b/a

• sum of zeroes = coefficient of x/ coefficient of x² = -b/a product of zeroes = constant/coefficient of x² = c/

a

on comparing 3x² - 5x + 6 with ax² + bx + c we get, a = 3, b = -5 and c=6

so, sum of zeroes = -b/a = -(-5)/3 = 5/3 product of zeroes = c/a = (6)/3 = 2

hence, sum of zeroes = 5/3

and product of zeroes = 2
