Find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients:$8x^2-22x-21$.


Given: A quadratic polynomial: $8x^2-22x-21$.

To do: To find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.

Solution:

Given polynomial is:

$8x^2-22x-21$

$=8x^2-28x+6x-22x$

$=( 8x^2-28x)+( 6x-22x)$

$=4x( 2x-7)+3( 2x-7)$

$=( 4x+3)( 2x-7)$

Now,

If $4x+3=0$

$\Rightarrow x=-\frac{3}{4}$

If $2x-7=0$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{7}{2}$

On comparing $8x^2-22x-21$ with $ax^2+bx+c$

$a=8,\ b=-22,\ c=-21$

$\alpha=-\frac{3}{4}$, $\beta=\frac{7}{2}$

Sum of zeroes $( \alpha+\beta)=-\frac{b}{a}$

$\Rightarrow -\frac{3}{4}+\frac{7}{2}=\frac{22}{8}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{8}=\frac{22}{8}$

Product of zeroes $( \alpha\times\beta)=\frac{c}{a}$

$-\frac{3}{4}\times\frac{7}{2}=\frac{-21}{8}$

$\frac{-21}{8}=\frac{-21}{8}$

Hence, Verified.
