Verify whether the indicated numbers are zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them in the following cases:$ g(x)=3 x^{2}-2, x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}},-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} $


Given:

\( g(x)=3 x^{2}-2, x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}},-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \)

To do: 

We have to find whether the indicated numbers are zeros of the polynomials corresponding to them.

Solution:

To find whether $x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}},-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ are zeroes of $g(x)$ we have to check if $g(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})=0$ and $g(-\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})=0$.

Therefore,

$g(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})=3(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}})^{2}-2$

$=3 \times \frac{4}{3}-2$

$=4-2$

$=2$

$g(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}})=3(\frac{-2}{\sqrt{3}})^{2}-2$

$=3 \times \frac{4}{3}-2$

$=4-2$

$=2$

Therefore, $x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ and $x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}$ are not zeroes of $g(x)$.
