Zeros of the polynomial are -5, -2
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to know the zeros of the polynomial, we need to factorize the equation because zeros of the polynomial are those values where f(x) = 0
x2 + 5x +2x +10 = 0
x(x+5) +2(x+5) =0
(x+5)(x+2) = 0
x = -5, -2
In order to know the relation between the zeroes and the coefficients, we need to verify two things
1. Sum of zeroes = - coefficient of x/ coefficient of x2
-2+-(5) = - 7/1
-7 = -7
2. Product of zeroes = constant / coefficient of x2
-2(-5) = 10/ 1
10 = 10
Thus, relation between zeroes and coefficients is verified
