Question

Find zeros of the given quadratic polynomial and verify relationship between the zeros and coefficient
4s^2- 4s+8​

Answer 1

(ii) 4s² – 4s + 1 = (2s-1)² The value of 4s² - 4s + 1 is zero when 2s - 1 = 0, i.e., s = 1/2 Therefore, the zeroes of 4s² - 4s + 1 are 1/2 and 1/2.Sum of zeroes = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 = -(-4)/4 = -(Coefficient of s)/Coefficient of s2 Product of zeroes = 1/2 × 1/2 = 1/4 = Constant term/Coefficient of s2
