Find the zeros of each of the following quadratic polynomial and verify the relationship between the zeros and their coefficients:
(vii)
(viii)
(ix)
Answers
SOLUTION :
(vii) Given : f (x) = x² - (√3 + 1)x + √3
= x² - √3x - 1x + √3
=x(x–√3)−1(x−√3)
= (x–√3)(x−1)
To find zeroes, put f(x) = 0
(x–√3) = 0 (x−1) = 0
x = √3 or x = 1
Hence, Zeroes of the polynomials are α = √3 and β = 1
VERIFICATION :
Sum of the zeroes = − coefficient of x / coefficient of x²
α + β = −coefficient of x / coefficient of x²
√3 + 1 = - -(√3 +1) / 1
√3 + 1 = √3 + 1
Product of the zeroes = constant term/ Coefficient of x²
α β = constant term / Coefficient of x²
√3 × 1 = √3 /1
√3 = √3
Hence, the relationship between the Zeroes and its coefficients is verified.
(viii) Given : g(x) = a[(x² + 1) -x(a² + 1)]
= ax² + a - a²x - x
= ax² −a²x - x + a
= ax(x−a) −1(x–a)
= (x- a)(ax - 1)
To find zeroes, put g(x) = 0
(x- a) = 0 or (ax - 1) = 0
x = a or xa = 1, x = 1/a
Hence, Zeroes of the polynomials are α = a and β = 1/a
VERIFICATION :
Sum of the zeroes = − coefficient of x / coefficient of x²
α + β = −coefficient of x / coefficient of x²
a + 1/a = - -(a² + 1)/a
(a×a + 1)/a = (a² + 1)/a
(a² + 1)/a = (a² + 1)/a
Product of the zeroes = constant term/ Coefficient of x²
α β = constant term / Coefficient of x²
a× 1/a = a/a
1 = 1
Hence, the relationship between the Zeroes and its coefficients is verified.
