iIf α and β are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f(x)= x(x-4), find the value of 1/α +1/β -2αβ. |
|
Answer» Your answer: The given polynomial is f (x) = x² - x - 4 Since α and β are the zeros of f (x), α + β = - (- 1)/1 ⇒ α +β = 1 ...(i) and αβ = - 4/1 ⇒ αβ = - 4 ...(II) Now, 1/α + 1/β - αβ = (α + β)/(αβ) - (αβ) = 1/(- 4) - (- 4) = - 1/4 + 4 = (- 1 + 16)/4 = 15/4 #Hope it will HELP you.....I think it's correct!! |
