Question

If one zero of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 4x^2 - 8kx -9 is negative of the other then find the value of k

Answer 1

Let zeroes be a and -a

and , a + -a = 8k/4

      0 = 2k

      so, k = 0  

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer :-

→ k = 0 .

Step-by-step explanation :-

It is given that,

→ One zeros of the given polynomial is negative of the other .

Let one zero of the given polynomial be x .

Then, the other zero is -x .

•°• Sum of zeros = x + ( - x ) = 0 .

But, Sum of zeros = -( coefficient of x )/( coefficient of x² ) = - ( -8k )/4 .

==> 2k = 0 .

==> k = 0/2 .

•°• k = 0 .

Hence, it is solved. ......
