Question

Find the value of a and b if they are the zeros of polynomial x^2+ax+b

Answer 1

Answer:a = -1/2 b = -1/2

Or a = 1 b = -2

Step-by-step explaination

a and b are the zeros of given polynomial.So

Putting value of x as a and b, We get two equations

2a^2 + b = 0

a + b = -1

Solving equations by elimination method of linear equations you get the values of a and b listed above
