Question

if one of the zeros of a quadratic polynomial of the from x^2+ax+b is negative of other then it​

Answer 1

Answer:

If one of the zero of the equation is negative of the other, then the roots will be m and − m

Hence, sum of roots = m − m = 0

Sum of roots = −a = 0

Thus there will be no linear involved in the term in the equation.

Also, the constant term = b = product of the zeroes = −m², will be negative.
