show.that a quadratic polynomial cannot have more than 2 zeroes
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
quadratic polynomial will have two zeroes because it's degree is 2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Proof : Let us consider α,β and γ are the three roots of the given quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a,b,c ϵ R and a \ne 0. Then each α,β and γ will satisfy this quadratic equation.
∴ aα2 + bα + c = 0 ------ (1)
aβ2 + bβ + c = 0 ------(2)
aγ2 + bγ + c = 0 -------(3)
Subtract equation (2) from (1) we get
aα2 + bα + c - ( aβ2 + bβ + c) = 0
⇒ a(α2−β2) + b(α−β ) = 0
a(α−β )(α+β ) + b(α−β )= 0
(α−β )(a (α+β ) + b)= 0
a(α+β) + b = 0 ---------- (4) [α−β≠ 0]
Subtract equation (3) from (2) we get
aβ2 + bβ + c - ( aγ2 + bγ + c) = 0
⇒ a(β2−γ2) + b(β−γ ) = 0
a(β−γ )(β+γ ) + b(β−γ )= 0
(β−γ )(a (β+γ ) + b)= 0
a(β+γ) + b = 0 ---------- (5) [α−γ≠ 0]
Subtracting equation (5) from (4) , we get
a(α−γ )= 0
⇒ α=γ
But this is not possible, because α and γ are distinct and a≠ 0. So their product can not be zero.
Thus our assumption that quadratic equation has three distinct real roots is wrong.
Hence, a quadratic equation cannot have more than two roots.
