Question

(iii) 6x² - 3 - 7x
$6x2 - 3 - 7x$
relationship between the zeores and the coefficient.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 6x2 – 7x – 3

To find the zeros

Let us put f(x) = 0

⇒ 6x2 – 7x – 3 = 0

⇒ 6x2 – 9x + 2x – 3 = 0

⇒ 3x(2x – 3) + 1(2x – 3) = 0

⇒ (2x – 3)(3x + 1) = 0

⇒ 2x – 3 = 0

x = 3/2

⇒ 3x + 1 = 0

⇒ x = -1/3

It gives us 2 zeros, for x = 3/2 and x = -1/3

Hence, the zeros of the quadratic equation are 3/2 and -1/3.

Now, for verification

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

3/2 + (-1/3) = – (-7) / 6 7/6 = 7/6

Product of roots = constant / coefficient of x2

3/2 x (-1/3) = (-3) / 6 -1/2 = -1/2

Therefore, the relationship between zeros and their coefficients is verified.
