Ifα,β are the zeros of the polynomial 2x2+7x+5 then find the value of α+β+αβ.

Answer»

clearly \:  \\ sum \: of \: zeroes \:  =  \frac{ - b}{a}  \\  \alpha  +  \beta  =  \frac{ - 7}{2}  \\ and \:  \\ product \: of \: zeroes \:  =  \frac{c}{a}  \\  \alpha  \beta  =  \frac{5}{2}  \\ hence \:  \alpha  +  \beta   +   \alpha  \beta  =   \frac{ - 7}{2}  +  \frac{5}{2}   = -  \frac{2}{2}   \\  =  - 1
