Verify that 3, -1, are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial p(x) = 3x3 – 5x2 –11x – 3 then verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
Kind a cubic polynomial with the sum, sum of the product of its zeroes taken two at a time and the product of its zeroes as –9, –11, 30 respectively.
We have,
For the zeroes of the polynomial
(x + 2) (x + 3) = 0
x + 2 = 0 or x + 3 = 0
x = -2 or x = -3
Thus, the zeroes of f(x ) =x2 + 5x + 6 are - α= –2 and β = –3
Now,
Sum of the zeroes =
=
Product of the zeroes =
=
