If alpha and beta are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f of x = 6X square + X - 2 find the value of Alpha by beta + beta by Alpha
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
your answer is above attachment
Given data : If α and β are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 6x² + x − 2.
To find : The value of α/β + β/α.
Solution :
Now,
⟹ 6x² + x - 2 = 0
compair above quadratic equation with ax² + bx + c = 0
Hence,
⟹ a = 6, b = 1 and c = - 2
According to given data, we know that α and β are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial.
Now,
⟹ α + β = - b/a
⟹ α + β = - 1/6
and
⟹ αβ = c/a
⟹ αβ = - 2/6
⟹ αβ = - 1/3
Now,
⟹ α/β + β/α
= (α * α)/(β * α) + (β * β)/(α * β)
= α²/αβ + β²/(- 1/3)
= (α² + β²)/(- 1/3)
= (α + β)² - 2αβ/(- 1/3)
= {(1/6)² + 2 * 1/3}/(- 1/3)
= {(1/6)² + 2 * 1/3}/(- 1/3)
= {1/36 + 2/3}/(- 1/3)
= {1/36 + 24/36}/(- 1/3)
= {1 + 24/36}/(- 1/3)
= {25/36}/(- 1/3)
= 25/36 * - 3/1
= - 75/36
= - 25/12
Answer : α/β + β/α = - 25/12
