Question

If a and B are the zenos of
the polynomial x²+2x+1, then 1/a+1/b is equal to​

Answer 1

the answer is -2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+2x+1

x^2+x+x+1

x(x+1)+1(x+1)

(x+1)(x+1)

x+1=0 or x+1=0

given that the zeroes of the given polynomial are a and b

then a= -1 ,b= -1

1/a+1/b= -1-1

therefore,

1/a+1/b= -2
