The correct Answer is:
To find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial \(6x^2 - x - 2\) and verify the relation between the zeroes and coefficients, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given polynomial is \(6x^2 - x - 2\). We can identify the coefficients as follows: - \(a = 6\) (coefficient of \(x^2\)) - \(b = -1\) (coefficient of \(x\)) - \(c = -2\) (constant term) ### Step 2: Set the polynomial equal to zero To find the zeroes, we set the polynomial equal to zero: \[ 6x^2 - x - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 3: Factor the quadratic equation We will factor the quadratic equation. We need to find two numbers that multiply to \(a \cdot c = 6 \cdot (-2) = -12\) and add to \(b = -1\). The numbers that satisfy this are \(3\) and \(-4\). Now we can rewrite the middle term: \[ 6x^2 + 3x - 4x - 2 = 0 \] Next, we group the terms: \[ (6x^2 + 3x) + (-4x - 2) = 0 \] Factor by grouping: \[ 3x(2x + 1) - 2(2x + 1) = 0 \] Now we can factor out the common factor \((2x + 1)\): \[ (2x + 1)(3x - 2) = 0 \] ### Step 4: Solve for the zeroes We set each factor equal to zero: 1. \(2x + 1 = 0\) \[ 2x = -1 \implies x = -\frac{1}{2} \] 2. \(3x - 2 = 0\) \[ 3x = 2 \implies x = \frac{2}{3} \] Thus, the zeroes of the polynomial are: \[ x_1 = -\frac{1}{2}, \quad x_2 = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Step 5: Verify the relation between zeroes and coefficients The sum of the zeroes (\(x_1 + x_2\)) is given by: \[ x_1 + x_2 = -\frac{1}{2} + \frac{2}{3} \] To add these fractions, we find a common denominator (which is 6): \[ -\frac{1}{2} = -\frac{3}{6}, \quad \frac{2}{3} = \frac{4}{6} \] So, \[ x_1 + x_2 = -\frac{3}{6} + \frac{4}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \] According to the relation, the sum of the zeroes is given by \(-\frac{b}{a}\): \[ -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-1}{6} = \frac{1}{6} \] Now, for the product of the zeroes (\(x_1 \cdot x_2\)): \[ x_1 \cdot x_2 = -\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2}{3} = -\frac{1}{3} \] According to the relation, the product of the zeroes is given by \(\frac{c}{a}\): \[ \frac{c}{a} = \frac{-2}{6} = -\frac{1}{3} \] ### Conclusion Both the sum and product of the zeroes match the relations derived from the coefficients. Therefore, we have verified the relation between the zeroes and coefficients.

To find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial \(6x^2 - x - 2\) and verify the relation between the zeroes and coefficients, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients The given polynomial is \(6x^2 - x - 2\). We can identify the coefficients as follows: - \(a = 6\) (coefficient of \(x^2\)) - \(b = -1\) (coefficient of \(x\)) - \(c = -2\) (constant term) ...
