Question

Sum of the zeros for
X 2+ 7 x + 6​

Answer 1

x²+7x+6=0

here zeros means roots

x²+6x+x+6=0

x(x+6)+1(x+6)=0

(x+1)(x+6)=0

x=-1,-6

sum of roots

-1-6=-7

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x² + 7x + 6

we know that 1 x 6 = 6 and 1  + 6 = 7

so :  x² + 1x + 6x + 6

x (x + 1 ) + 6x ( x + 1 )

(x + 1) (x + 6)

x = -1 and x = -6

(ANOTHER METHOD) - BY USING QUADRATIC FORMULA

-b ± √b² - 4ac

     2a

here b = 7 , a = 1 , c = 6

-7±√7² - 4 (1) (6)

    2(1)

-7±√49 - 24

   2

-7±√25

  2

-7±5

  2

-7 + 5      and  - 7 - 5

   2                      2

-2/2 and -12/2

x = - 1 and - 6

SO THE ZEROES OF THE POLYNOMIAL x² + 7x + 6 IS - 1 AND - 6
