The other zero of the polynomial 2x3 + x2 -6x -3, if two of its zeroes are √3 and -√3, is

Answer»

Given polynomial is 2x3 + x2 − 6x − 3 

The two roots of polynomial are −√3​,√3​ 

Let the other root be a

Product of the roots will be - \(\frac{-3}{2}\)

⇒ (-√3)(√3)a = \(\frac{3}{2}\)

⇒a = -\(\frac{1}{2}\) 

So the other zero is -\(\frac{1}{2}\)
