1.

If -1 is one of the zeroes of the polynomial x cube - 4x square +x+6. find the other zeroes.

Answer»

Given polynomialx^3 - 4x^2 + x + 6 = 0

As - 1 is one of the zero, then (x+1) should be one of factor of polynomial

x^3 + x^2 - 5x^2 - 5x + 6x + 6 = 0x^2(x + 1) - 5x(x + 1) + 6(x + 1) = 0(x + 1)(x^2 - 5x + 6) = 0(x + 1)(x^2 - 3x - 2x + 6) = 0(x + 1)(x(x - 3) - 2(x - 3)) = 0(x + 1)(x - 2)(x - 3) = 0x = - 1, 2, 3

Therefore, other two zeroes are 2 and 3
