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.
Sum of zeroes =
and product of zeroes = 2
We know that a quadratic polynomial when the sum and product of its zeroes are given by
f(x) = k {x2 – (sum of zeroes) x + product of zeroes}
where k is a constant
