Answer:
1st option : 5/8
Note:
If A and B are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c , Then ;
Sum of zeros , (A+B) = -b/a
Product of zeros (A•B) = c/a
Solution:
Here,
The given quadratic polynomial is;
2x² - 5x + 8 .
Clearly,
a = 2
b = -5
c = 8
Let A and B are the zeros of the given quadratic polynomial.
Then,
Sum of zeros = -b/a
=> A + B = -(-5)/2 = 5/2
Also,
Product of zeros = c/a
=> A•B = 8/2 = 4
Now,
We need to find the sum of zeros of the given quadratic polynomial.
Thus,
1/A + 1/B = (B + A) / A•B
= (A + B) / A•B
= (5/2) / 4
= 5/2•4
= 5/8
Hence,
The required answer is 5/8 .
