If two zeroes of the polynomial 138x - 35 are 2 √3, find other zeroes

Text Solution

Solution : Given that, two zeroes of polynomial. thus, they are the factors of the given poynomial. <br> Thus, `(x-2-sqrt3)xx(x-2+sqrt3)` is also a factor. <br> `:. x^2-4x+1` is a factor of polynomial.<br> Now, divide the polynomial to find out other factor.<br> Now, find zeroes of `x^2-2x-35`<br> The factors are, `(x+5)(x-7)=0`<br> thus, `x=-5 or 7` are zeros.

The given equation is a polynomial equation of degree 4, hence there will be total 4 roots.

Let f(x) = x4-6x3-26x2+138x-35 Since 2 +√3 and 2-√3 are zeroes of given polynomial f(x).

∴ [x−(2+√3)] [x−(2-√3)] = 0

(x−2−√3)(x−2+√3) = 0

On multiplying the above equation we get, x2-4x+1, this is a factor of a given polynomial f(x).

Now, on dividing f(x) by g(x), the quotient will also be a factor of f(x) and the remainder will be 0.

If two zeroes of the polynomial 138x - 35 are 2 √3, find other zeroes

So, x4-6x3-26x2+138x-35

= (x2-4x+1)(x2 –2x−35)

On factorisation(x2–2x−35) we get,

x2–(7−5)x −35 

= x2– 7x+5x+35 = 0

x(x −7)+5(x−7) = 0

(x+5)(x−7) = 0

So, the zeroes are given by: x= −5 and x = 7.

Hence, all four zeroes of given polynomial equation are: 2+√3 , 2-√3, −5 and 7.

Given that 2 + `sqrt3` and 2 - `sqrt3` are zeroes of the given polynomial

Therefore, `(x - 2-sqrt3)(x-2+sqrt3)` =  x2 + 4 - 4x - 3

= x2 - 4x + 1 is a factor of the given polynomial

For finding the remaining zeroes of the given polynomial, we will find the quotient by dividing by x4 - 6x3 - 26x2 + 138x - 35 by x2 - 4x + 1

If two zeroes of the polynomial 138x - 35 are 2 √3, find other zeroes

Clearly x4 - 6x3 - 26x2 + 138x - 35 = (x2 - 4x +1)(x2 -2x -35)

It can be observed that (x2 - 2x - 35) is also a factor of the given polynomial.

And (x2 - 2x - 35) = (x -7)(x + 5)

Therefore, the value of the polynomial is also zero when x - 7 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

or x = 7 or -5

Hence, 7 and - 5 are also zeroes of this polynomial
