If the sum of the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f (x) = kx2 — 3x + 5 is 1, write the value of k.

Given,


The quadratic polynomial f(x) = kx2 – 3x + 5
Now,


Let two zeroes be a and 1 – a


Sum of zeroes = 1 and also 1 – a ˃ 0 a ˂ 1


Therefore;


Sum of the zeroes = 3/k


a + (1 – a) = 3/k


1 = 3/k


k = 3
