if alpha and beta are zeros of polynomial x square - 6 X + A and 3 alpha plus 2 Beta is equal to 2 then find a
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation
We are given the zeroes of a Quadratic equation x^2-6x+A as alpha and beta
And we are also given that 3alpha+2beta=2
Theory
So we know that Alpha+Beta is equal to -b/a
and we know that Alpha*Beta is equal to c/a
Procedure
Alpha+beta= -b/a = 6. -(1)
3alpha+2beta=2. -(2)
2(alpha+beta) =12
2alpha+2beta+ alpha= 2
12+ alpha=2
alpha= -10

Value of A comes out to be -160
Polynomial P(x) = x² - 6 x + a
Given α and β are the roots. To find a , if 3 α + 2 β = 20. ---(1)
From the quadratic expression:
α + β = 6 ---(2)
and α β = a --- (3)
Multiply equation (2) by 2 and subtract from (1) to get:
α = 20 -12 = 8
Substitute this value in(2) to get:
β = 6-8 = -2
Substitute these in (3) to get: a = α β = -16.
