The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the sum and product of the zeros (roots) of the polynomial \(x^2 + 7x + 10\). ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given polynomial is \(x^2 + 7x + 10\). We can identify the coefficients: - \(a = 1\) (coefficient of \(x^2\)) - \(b = 7\) (coefficient of \(x\)) - \(c = 10\) (constant term) ### Step 2: Calculate the sum of the roots The sum of the roots (zeros) of a polynomial can be calculated using the formula: \[ \alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} \] Substituting the values of \(b\) and \(a\): \[ \alpha + \beta = -\frac{7}{1} = -7 \] ### Step 3: Calculate the product of the roots The product of the roots can be calculated using the formula: \[ \alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a} \] Substituting the values of \(c\) and \(a\): \[ \alpha \beta = \frac{10}{1} = 10 \] ### Final Result Thus, the values are: - \(\alpha + \beta = -7\) - \(\alpha \beta = 10\)
