Answers
1, -1 and -3 are zeroes of the given cubic polynomial....
3 is not the zero of given polynomial
The relationship between zeroes is add 2.
The relationship between coefficient is (x²-1)(x+3).
Correct Question: Verify that 1, -1, and -3 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial x³ + 3x² - x - 3 and check the relationship between zeroes and the coefficients.
Given:
Cubic polynomial f(x) = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
To Verify:
1, -1, and -3 are the zeroes of the Cubic polynomial x³ + 3x² - x - 3.
The relationship between the zeroes and coefficients of the polynomial.
Solution:
Cubic Polynomial: f(x) = x³ + 3x² - x - 3
If 1, -1, and -3 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial then f(1), f(-1) and f(-3) must be equal to zero:
f(1) = (1³) + 3 (1)² - (1) - 3 = 1 + 3 - 1 - 3 = 0
f(-1) = (-1)³ + 3 (-1)² - (-1) - 3 = -1 + 3 + 1 - 3 = 0
f(-3) = (-3)³ + 3 (-3)² - (-3) - 3 = -27 + 27 + 3 - 3 = 0
As f(1), f(-1) and f(-3) are equal to zero, therefore 1, -1 and -3 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial f(x) = x³ + 3x² - x - 3.
→ α = 1, β = −1 and γ = -3 are the zeroes of the polynomial: x³ + 3x² - x - 3.
→ The given polynomial is of the form: ax³ + bx² + cx + d
- where, a = 1 , b = 3 , c = -1 and d = -3.
→ The zeroes of this polynomial are: α = 1, β = −1 and γ = -3
(1.) α + β + γ = 1 + (-1) + (-3) = -3 = (-b/a)
(2.) αβ + βγ + γα = (1)(-1) + (-1)(-3) + (-3)(1) = -1 + 3 - 3 = -1 = (c/a)
(3.) αβγ = (1)(-1)(-3) = 3 = (-d/a)
- (α + β + γ) comes out to be equal to (-b/a).
- (αβ + βγ + γα) comes out to be equal to (c/a).
- (αβγ) comes out to be equal to (-d/a).
Hence the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients of this cubic polynomial gets established.
