Answers
Given :
find the zero of the each of the following and verify the relationship between the zeros and their Coefficient 7 x² - 25 x -12
To find :
Find the zeros and verify the relationship between zeros and their Coefficient
Solution :
7x² - 25x -12 = 0
solve this by splitting middle term
= 7x² - 3x + 28x - 12 = 0
= x(7x-3) + 4(7x -3) = 0
= (x+4)(7x-3) = 0
Either
=> x + 4 = 0
=> x = -4
or
=> 7x - 3 = 0
=> 7x = 3
=> x = 3/7
-4 and 3/7 are the zeros of the given polynomial
Verification :
Add both the zeros
Multiply both the zeros
Hence , it is verified
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
- 7x² – 25x – 12
To Find:
- Zeros of the polynomial and also verify the relationship between zeros and their coefficient.
Solution: Let the given polynomial be denoted by f(x). Then,
f(x) = 7x² – 25x – 12
7x² – 21x – 4x – 12 [ By middle term splitting ]
7x (x – 3) – 4 (x – 3)
(7x – 4) (x – 3)
∴ f(x) = 0 = (7x – 4) (x – 3) = 0
7x – 4 = 0 or x – 3 = 0
x = 4/7 or x = 3/1
So, ★ The zeros of f(x) are 4/7 and 3/1
Sum of zeros = (4/7 + 3) = 4+21/7 = 25/7 = –(coefficient of x) / (coefficient of x²)
★ Product of zeros = 4/7 x 3 = 12/7 = constant term / coefficient of x²
