Given : 3x²-10x +3
To Find : sum of the zeroes of the polynomial
Solution:
Quadratic equation :
ax² + bx + c = 0
Sum of roots/zeroes = - b/a
Product of roots/zeroes = c/a
comparing 3x²-10x +3=0 with ax² + bx + c = 0
=> a = 3
b = -10
c = 3
Sum of roots/Zeroes = - b/a = - (-10)/3 = 10/3
sum of the zeroes of the polynomial = 10/3
Other method
3x²-10x +3=0
Using middle term split
3x²-9x -x +3=0
=> 3x(x - 3) - 1(x - 3) = 0
=> (3x - 1)(x - 3) =0
=> x = 1/3 , 3
Zeroes are 1/3 & 3
Sum of zeroes = 1/3 + 3 = 10/3
