Question
Find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients
`p(x) = x^2 + 2sqrt2x + 6`
Solution
`p(x)=x^2+2sqrt2x-6=x^2+3sqrt2x+sqrt2xx3sqrt2`
`=x(x+3sqrt2)-sqrt2(2+3sqrt2)=(x-sqrt2)(x+3sqrt2)`
Zeroes of the polynomial are `3sqrt2` and `-3sqrt2`
Sum of the zeroes `=(-3sqrt2)/1`
`sqrt2-3sqrt2=-2sqrt2`
`-2sqrt2=-2sqrt2`
Product of zeroes `=sqrt2xx(-3sqrt2)=-6/1`
`-6=-6`
Hence the relationship verified
