Question

If a & b are the zeroes of the polynomial 2x²-3x-7 then the value of a/b+ a/b is​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since a and b are the zeros of the polynomial f(x)=x

2

−5x+k

The standard quadratic equation is px

2

+qx+r=0

Then Sum of roots = −

p

q

and Product of roots =

p

r

Therefore,

a+b=5 and ab=k

Now, a−b=1

(a−b)

2

=1

(a+b)

2

−4ab=1

25−4k=1

24=4k

k=6
