Let a and b are the zeroes of polynomial p (x)= x^2-8x+1. Sum of zeroes is given by :
:
ab=k
It is given that, a^2+b^2=40
It can be simplified as :
(a+b)^2-ab=40
From (1) we have,
:
So, the value of k is 12.

Answer:
Polynomials. If sum of the squares of zeroes of the quadratic polynomial p(x) = x2 – 8x + K is 40, the value of K. Hence, K = 12.
