If both the zeros of a quadratic polynomial x square +mx+9 are equal find the value of m
Answers
▪️Let α and β be the roots of quadratic polynomial.
▪️Given, α = β
Given, α = β ▪️ Quadratic polynomial - x² + mx + 9
▪️a = 1, b = m, c = 9.
▪️Sum of roots, α + β = -b/a = -m/1 ------------ [1]
▪️product of roots, αβ = c/a = 9 ----------- [2]
▪️Since α = β, [2] becomes
▪️α² = 9
▪️=> α = ±3
▪️Substitute the value of α in [1],
▪️α + β = -m
▪️2α = - m ( since α = β)
▪️=> if α = + 3 then m = - 6
=> if α = + 3 then m = - 6 if α = - 3, then m = + 6
▪️Thus value of m is ±6
Hopes it help you✌️✌️
EXPLANATION.
- GIVEN
both the zeroes of a quadratic equation
x^2 + mx + 9 = 0
To find value of M
according to the question,
we can find discriminant
a = 1 , b = m, c = 9
=> D = b^2 - 4ac = 0
=> D = 0
=> ( m) ^2 - 4(1) (9) = 0
=> m^2 - 36 = 0
=> m^2 = 36
=> m = + 6 or m = - 6
Some related formula of quadratic equation.
3) = D > 0 = Roots are real and unequal.
4) = D = 0 = Roots are real and equal.
5) = D < 0 = Roots are imaginary.
