Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given -
- α and β are zeroes of polynomial p(x) = 6x² + x - 2
To Find -
- Value of α/β + β/α
→ α² + β²/αβ
Method 1 :-
Now,
→ 6x² + x - 2
By middle term splitt :-
→ 6x² + 4x - 3x - 2
→ 2x(3x + 2) - 1(3x + 2)
→ (2x - 1)(3x + 2)
Zeroes are -
→ 2x - 1 = 0 and 3x + 2 = 0
→ x = 1/2 and x = -2/3
Hence,
The value of α = 1/2 and β = -2/3
Then,
The value of α/β + β/α is
→ 1/2÷-2/3 + -2/3÷1/2
→ -3/4 + (-4/3)
→ -3/4 - 4/3
→ -9-16/12
→ -25/12
Hence,
The value of α/β + β/α is -25/12
Method 2 :-
As we know that :-
- α + β = -b/a
→ α + β = -1/6
Now, Squaring both sides :-
→ (α + β)² = (-1/6)²
→ α² + β² + 2αβ = 1/36
→ α² + β² + 2(-1/3) = 1/36
→ α² + β² - 2/3 = 1/36
→ α² + β² = 1/36 + 2/3
→ α² + β² = 1 + 24/36
→ α² + β² = 25/36
And
- αβ = c/a
→ αβ = -2/6
→ αβ = -1/3
Then,
The value of α² + β²/αβ is
→ 25/36 ÷ -1/3
→ 25/36 × -3
→ -25/12
Hence,
The value of α/β + β/α or α² + β²/αβ is -25/12.
x = 1/2
x = -2/3
- β and α are zeroes of polynomial p(x) = 6x² + x - 2
- value of α/β + β/α
α² + β²/αβ
6x² + x - 2
6x² + 4x - 3x - 2
2x(3x + 2) - 1(3x + 2)
(2x - 1)(3x + 2)
2x - 1= 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2
3x + 2 = 0
3x = -2
x = -2/3
The value of α = 1/2 or β = -2/3
The value of α/β + β/α is
1/2 ÷ -2/3 + -2/3 ÷ 1/2
-3/4 + (-4/3)
-3/4 - 4/3
-9 - 16/12
-25/12
The value of α/β + β/α is -25/12
α + β = -b/a
α + β = -1/6
(α + β)² = (-1/6)²
α² + β² + 2αβ = 1/36
α² + β² + 2(-1/3) = 1/36
α² + β² - 2/3) = 1/36
α² + β² = 2/3 + 1/36
α² + β² = 1 + 24/36
α² + β² = 25/36
αβ = c/a
αβ = -2/6
αβ = -1/3
The value of α² + β²/βα is
25/36 ÷ -1/3
25/36 × -3
25/12
The value of α/β + β/α or α² + β²/βα is -25/12
