If ∝and β are the Zeros of the quadratic polynomialf(x)=x2-4x+3 find the value of 1/∝+1/β
Answers
Answer:
4/3
Step-by-step explanation:
p(x) = x^2 - 4x + 3
= x^2 -x - 3x + 3
= x(x - 1) -3(x - 1)
= (x - 3)(x - 1)
Thus,
x = 3 or x = 1
α = 3 and β = 1
Now,
1/α + 1/β
1/3 + 1/1
(1+3)/3
4/3

EXPLANATION.
α,β are the zeroes of the quadratic equation.
⇒ f(x) = x² - 4x + 3.
As we know that,
Sum of the zeroes of the quadratic equation.
⇒ α + β = -b/a.
⇒ α + β = -(-4)/1 = 4.
Products of the zeroes of the quadratic equation.
⇒ αβ = c/a.
⇒ αβ = 3/1 = 3.
To find :
⇒ 1/α + 1/β.
⇒ β + α/αβ.
Put the values in the equation, we get.
⇒ 4/3.
1/α + 1/β = 4/3.
