Ex2.3, 3
Obtain all other zeroes of 3x4 + 6x3 – 2x2 – 10x - 5 , if two of its zeroes are √(5/3) and -√(5/3) .
Introduction
2 is a factor of 6
3 is a factor of 6
So, 2 × 3 is also a factor of 6
We will use the same in our question
Ex2.3, 3
Obtain all other zeroes of 3x4 + 6x3 – 2x2 – 10x - 5 , if two of its zeroes are √(5/3) and -√(5/3) .
Let p(x) = 3x4 + 6x3 – 2x2 – 10x - 5
Since x =√(5/3) is a zero , x – √(5/3) is a factor
& x = –√(5/3) is a zero , x + √(5/3) is a factor
Hence ("x +" √(5/3)) ("x –" √(5/3)) is also a factor
= (x2 – (√(5/3))^2)
= (x2 – 5/3)
Now by dividing the given polynomial by (x2 – 5/3)
We can find out other factors
Now,
we factorize 3x2 + 6x + 3
3x2 + 6x + 3
We find roots using
splitting the middle term method
= 3x2 + 3x + 3x + 3
= 3x(x + 1) +3 (x + 1)
= (3x + 3)(x + 1)
= 3(x + 1)(x + 1)
= 3(x + 1)(x + 1)
= 3(x + 1)2
Hence, x + 1 = 0
i.e. x = – 1 , – 1 is a zero of p(x)
Therefore, the zeroes of p(x) are√(5/3), -√(5/3), −1 and – 1.
