Answer» Answer: Step-by-step explanation: Given : The product of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 3x² + 5x + k is -2/3 To find : the value of k Solution : 3x² + 5x + k
From the relation between zeroes and coefficients of the quadratic equation : Product of zeroes = constant term/x² coefficient THEREFORE, the value of k is -2 _________________________________ About Quadratic Polynomial : ✯ It is a polynomial of degree 2 ✯ General form : ax² + bx + c = 0 ✯ Determinant, D = b² - 4ac ✯ Based on the value of Determinant, we can DEFINE the nature of roots. D > 0 ; real and unequal roots D = 0 ; real and equal roots D < 0 ; no real roots i.e., imaginary ✯ Relationship between zeroes and coefficients : ✩ Sum of zeroes = -b/a ✩ Product of zeroes = c/a ________________________________ |
