Verify weather $2,\ 3\ and \frac{1}{2}$ are the zeroes of the polynomial $P(x)=2x^{3}-11x^{2}+17x-6$.


Given: The polynomial $P(x)=2x^{3}-11x{2}+17x-6$.

To do: To verify weather $2,\ 3\ and\ \frac{1}{2}$ are the zeroes of the given polynomial.

Solution:

$p(x)=2x^{3}-11x^{2}+17x-6$

Putting $x=2$,

$p(2)=2(2)^{3}-11(2)^{2}+17(2)-6$

$=2(8)-11(4)+34-6$

$=16-44+28$

$=44-44=0$

Putting $x=3$,

$p(3)=2( 3)^{3}-11( 3)^{2}+17( 3)-6$

$=2(27)-11(9)+51-6$

$=54-99+51-6$

$=99-99=0$

Putting $x=\frac{1}{2}$,

$p( \frac{1}{2})=2( \frac{1}{2})^{3}-11( \frac{1}{2})^{2}+17( \frac{1}{2})-6$

$=2( \frac{1}{8})-11( \frac{1}{8})+ \frac{17}{2}-6$

$= \frac{2}{8}- \frac{11}{8}+ \frac{17}{2}-6$

$= \frac{1}{4}- \frac{11}{4}+ \frac{17}{2}-6$

$=\frac{( 1-11)}{4}+\frac{17}{2}-6$

$=-\frac{10}{4}+\frac{17}{2}-6$

$=\frac{(-10+34-24)}{4}$

$=\frac{(34-34)}{4}$

$=\frac{0}{4}$

$=0$

Therefore, $2,\ 3$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ are the zeroes of the given polynomial.

Hence verified
