1.	If a and b are zeros of (x)²+5x+8,then the value of (a+b) is?
Answer» Since we have given that{tex}x^2+5x+8{/tex}Let α and β are the zeroes of the above quadratic equation.As we know the relation between zeroes and the coefficients of quadratic equation in the form of ax²+bx+c=0.{tex}\\alpha +\\beta =\\frac{-b}{a}=\\frac{-5}{1}=-5{/tex}Hence, the value of α+β is -5.
