If a quadratic polynomial f (x) is a square of a linear polynomial, then its two zeroes are coincident. (True/False)

True

Lets take,


f(x) = x2 – 4x + 4


= (x – 2)2


= [g(x)]2 ………….. [g(x) = (x – 2) is a linear polynomial]


Zero of g(x) is 2,


So,


Zeroes of f(x) are 2 and 2.


So we can say that zeroes of f(x) are coincident.
