Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial is given f(x) = ax2 - 3(a - 1)x - 1
Zeroes of a polynomial is 2
Calculations:
According to the question, we have
f(x) = ax2 - 3(a - 1)x - 1
2 is zero of polynomial
⇒ f(2) = a(2)2 - 3(a - 1)2 - 1
⇒ 4a - 6(a - 1) - 1 = 0
⇒ 4a - 6a + 6 -1 = 0
⇒ 5 - 2a = 0
⇒ -2a = -5
⇒ 2a = 5
⇒ a = 5/2
∴ If 2 is zero of a polynomial, then the value of a = 5/2.
