Question

if p and q are zeroes of x square + 5x+8 find p+q

Answer 1

Hi friend!!

Given,

p and q are zeroes of x² + 5x+8

Then we know that,

Sum of zeros =-x-coefficient/x²-coefficient

p+q=-5/1=-5


I hope this will help you ;)

Answer 2

Heya !!!




P(X) = X² + 5X + 8




Here,




A = 1 , B = 5 and C = 8






We know that,




Sum of zeroes = -B/A






P + Q = - (5)/1





P + Q = -5
