answer issssss
Answers
Answer:
9 & – 8.
Step-by-step explanation:
x²-x-72
x²-9x+8x-72
x(x–9) + 8(x–9)
(x–9)(x+8)
x=9, x= –8
VERIFICATION::--
SUM OF ZEROES = – b/a
9+(-8)= - (-1)/1
1 = 1
PRODUCT OF ZEROES = c/a
9*(-8) = -72/1
-72 = -72
I HOPE IT HELPS U
x² - x - 72 = x² - 9x + 8x - 72 = 0
= (x² - 9x) + (8x - 72) = 0
= x( x - 9) + 8(x - 9) = 0
= ( x - 9) ( x + 8) = 0
Thus, (x - 9) = 0 or (x + 8) = 0
So, x = 9 and x = (-8).
Let, the zeroes of the given quadratic polynomial be 9 and (-8).
So,
Sum of zeroes = 9 + (-8)
= 9 - 8
= 1
= -(Coefficient of x)/Coefficient of x²
Product of zeroes = 9 × (-8)
= -72
= Constant term/Coefficient of x²
