Find the zeros of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeros and the coefficients:
x2 + 2x – 8
Let f(x) = x2 + 2x - 8
Put f(x) = 0
x2 + 2x - 8 = 0
x2 + 2x - 4x - 12 = 0
x(x + 2) – 4 (x + 2) = 0
(2 + x) (x - 4) = 0
∴ x = 4 or x = -2
Now, sum of zeroes = -2 + 4 = 2 =
Product of zeroes = (4) × (-2)
Hence, relationship verified.
