polynomial P(x) = x²-4x+3 has zeros Alpha and beta then find alpha²+beta²
Answers
EXPLANATION.
α, β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial.
⇒ p(x) : x² - 4x + 3.
As we know that,
Sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial.
⇒ α + β = - b/a.
⇒ α + β = -(-4/1) = 4.
Products of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial.
⇒ αβ = c/a.
⇒ αβ = 3.
To find : α² + β².
⇒ α² + β² = (α + β)² - 2αβ.
Put the values in the equation, we get.
⇒ α² + β² = (4)² - 2(3).
⇒ α² + β² = 16 - 6.
⇒ α² + β² = 10.

(1) Roots are real and unequal, if b² - 4ac > 0.
(2) Roots are rational and different, if b² - 4ac is a perfect square.
(3) Roots are real and equal, if b² - 4ac = 0.
(4) If D < 0 Roots are imaginary and unequal Or complex conjugate.
EXPLANATION.
a, B are the zeroes of the quadratic
polynomial.
→ p(x): x² - 4x +3. As we know that,
Sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial.
→ a + B = -b/a.
a+B=(-4/1) = 4.
Products of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial.
→ aß = c/a.
→ aß = 3.
To find : a² + ß².
a²+ B² = (a + 3)² - 2aß.
Put the values in the equation, we get.
a²+3² = (4)²-2(3).
a²+ 3² = 16-6.
a² + 3² = 10.
