Question

Verify whether
-3/2
and 5 are zeroes of the polynomial 2x2 – 7x – 15

Answer 1

Answer:

x²+7x+10=0

x²+2x+5x+10=0

x(x+2)+5(x+2)=0

(x+2)(x+5) = 0

x+2 = 0 ; x = -2

x+5 = 0 ; x = -5

Relationship between the zeroes and coefficients :-

Sum of zeroes = -2+(-5) = -2-5

= -7/1 = -x coefficient /x² coefficient

Product of zeroes = (-2)(-5)

= 10/1 = constant/x² coefficient
