Answer» Answer :a = 2, b = 1 Step-by-step EXPLANATION :Can be solved in TWO ways,
_______________________ Method - 1 : Given polynomial, p(x) = x³ - ax² - bx + 2 >>> 1,-1 and 2 are zeroes of a polynomial So, when we substitute the above values in place of x ; the result is zero.
p(1) = 0 1³ - a(1)² - b(1) + 2 = 0 1 - a - b + 2 = 0 3 - a - b = 0
p(-1) = 0 (-1)³ - a(-1)² - b(-1) + 2 = 0 -1 - a(1) + b + 2 = 0 -1 - a + b + 2 = 0 - a + b + 1 = 0
p(2) = 0 2³ - a(2)² - b(2) + 2 = 0 8 - a(4) - 2b + 2 = 0 8 - 4a - 2b + 2 = 0 4a + 2b = 10 2(2a+b) = 2(5) ______________________ We got three EQUATIONS, a + b = 3 --(1) b - a = -1 --(2) 2a + b = 5 --(3) Equation (1) a + b = 3 a = 3 - b substitute the value of a in equation (2) Equation (2) b - a = -1 b - (3-b) = -1 b - 3 + b = -1 2b = 3 - 1 2b = 2 b = 2/2 b = 1 => a = 3 - b = 3 - 1 = 2 Substitute the values of a and b in equation (3) to VERIFY >> 2a + b 2(2) + 1 4 + 1 5 Therefore, a = 2, b = 1 ____________________ Method - 2 : For a cubic polynomial of the form, ax³ + bx² + cx + d Let α,β,γ are the zeroes RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ZEROES AND COEFFICIENTS : ➤ α + β + γ = -b/a ➤ αβ + βγ + αγ = c/a ➤ αβγ = -d/a Given polynomial, x³ - ax² - bx + 2 and its zeroes : 1,-1,2 From the above relation, => 1 + (-1) + 2 = -(-a)/1 1 - 1 + 2 = a a = 2 => (1)(-1) + (-1)(2) + (2)(1) = -b/1 -1 - 2 + 2 = -b -b = -1 b = 1 ∴ a = 2, b = 1 |
