Verify the relations between zeroes and the coefficients of the quadratic polynomial P(x) = 5x² – 11x – 12.
Answers
Answer:
The first term is, 5x2 its coefficient is 5 .
The middle term is, -11x its coefficient is -11 .
The last term, "the constant", is -12
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 5 • -12 = -60
Step-2 : Find two factors of -60 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -11 .
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -15 and 4
5x2 - 15x + 4x - 12
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
5x • (x-3)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
4 • (x-3)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(5x+4) • (x-3)
Which is the desired factorization
