CBSEENMA9001727

Determine whether the indicated numbers are zeroes of the given polynomial?

g(x) = 3x2 - 2;    straight x equals fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction comma space minus fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction

Solution

We have
g(x) = 3x2 - 2
8 open parentheses fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction close parentheses equals 3 open parentheses fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction close parentheses squared minus 2 equals 2 not equal to 0
therefore space space space space straight x space equals space fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction is not a zero of 8(x)
8 open parentheses negative fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction close parentheses equals 3 open parentheses negative fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction close parentheses squared equals negative 2 not equal to 0
therefore space straight x equals space minus fraction numerator 2 over denominator square root of 3 end fraction is not a zero of 8(x).
