Find the zeroes of quadratic polynomial:x^2+7x+10 |
|
Answer» <P>Step-by-step explanation: Let p(X) = x²+7x+10 We get zeroes of the polynomial p(x) we will take p(x) = 0 => x² + 7x + 10 = 0 => x( x + 2 ) + 5( x + 2 ) = 0 => ( x + 2 )( x + 5 ) = 0 => x + 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0 => x = -2 or x = -5 Therefore The zeroes of p(x) are -2 , -5 i ) Compare x²+7x+10 with ax²+bx+c we get a = 1 , b = 7 , c = 10 Sum of the zeroes = - 2 + ( -5 ) = -7 = ( -b/a ) ii ) Product of the zeroes = ( -2 )( -5 ) = 10 = c/a |
