Verify that the numbers given alongside of the cubic polynomials below are their zeroes. Also verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients in each case:

(i)


(ii)

(i) P(x) =


Now for zeroes, putting the given values in x.


P


P(1) =


P(-2) =


Thus,


Comparing given polynomial with


=


Now,


=

=


Thus ,


(ii) p(x) =


Now for zeroes , put the given value in x.


P(2) = =


P(1) =


P(1) =


Thus, 2, 1 , 1 are the zeroes of the given polynomial.


Now,


Comparing the given polynomial with


=



=


= 4 = 4


=

= 5 = 5


αβγ =


= 2×1×1 = 2


= 2 =2


Thus,


1
