if 2&3 are zeroes of polynomial 3xsquare-2kx+2m find the values of k and m
Answers
we have given,
the roots of the equation are
2 and 3
• let, us consider the roots are
α and β
α = 2 , β = 3
• our equation is 3x²-2kx+2m
compare it with ax^2 + bx + c = 0
a = 3 , b = ( -2k ) c = 2m
• we know the relation between coefficients and roots of the equations
α + β = -b / a
Therefor,
→ 2 + 3 = - ( - 2k) / 3
→ 5 = 2k / 3
→ 5 x 3 = 2k
→ 15 /2= K
Also,
α x β = c / a
→2 x 3 = 2m / 3
→6 x 3 = 2m
→18 / 2= m
→ 9 = m

Verification :
• put the values of k , m and value of one of the root in the given equation 3x²-2kx+2m And equate the equation with zero
→ 3x²-2kx+2m = 0
→ 3 ( 2 )² - 2 (15 /2) 2 + 2( 9 ) = 0
→ 3 ( 4 ) - 2 x 15 + 18 = 0
→ 12 - 30 + 18 = 0
→ 30 - 30 = 0
hence verified
