Question

If α and β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = x2 + x – 2, find the value of 1/α – 1/β.​

Answer 1

x2 + x - 2 = 0

x2 +2x - x - 2 = 0

x(x + 2) -1(x + 2) = 0

(x - 1)(x + 2) = 0

x - 1 = 0 and x + 2 = 0

Hence, x = 1, -2.

Now, let α = 1 and β = -2,

1/α - 1/β

= 1/1 - 1/(-2)

= 1 + 1/2

= 3/2
