Given: The polynomial x^2 + 1/6(x) - 2
To find: The zeroes of the polynomial and verify the relation between the coefficient and zeroes of the polynomial.
Solution:
Now we have given the polynomial: x^2 + 1/6(x) - 2 = 0
Simplifying it, we get:
6x^2 + x - 12 = 0
So by splitting middle term, we get:
6x^2 - 8x + 9x - 12 = 0
Now combining the terms, we get:
(6x^2 - 8x) + (9x - 12) = 0
2x(3x - 4) + 3(3x + 4) = 0
(3x - 4)(2x + 3) = 0
x = 4/3 or x = -3/2
So verifying it, we get:
Sum of zeroes: 4/3 - 3/2 = -1/6
Product of zeroes: 4/3 x (-3/2) = -2
Hence verified.
Answer:
So the zeroes of the polynomial are 4/3 and -3/2.
