Find the zeros of the polynomial 4x2 – 3x– 1 by factorization method and verify therelations between the zeros and the coefficients of the polynomial |

Answer» Answer: Splitting the MIDDLE term, we get =4x2−4x+1x−1 =4x(x−1)+1(x−1) =(x−1)(4x+1) For f(x)=0, we have 4x2−3x−1=0 or (x−1)(4x+1)=0 Either x−1=0⇒x=1 or 4x+1=0 ⇒4x=−1 ⇒x=4−1 ∴ The zeroes of f(x) are 1 and 4−1. Verification: α=1,β=4−1 a=4,b=−3 and c=−1 ∴α+β=a−b ⇒1−41=4−(−3) ⇒43= |
