Question
Find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.

Solution
We have,
3a2 – x – 4 = 3x2 – 4x + 3x – 4
= x(3x – 4) + 1(3x – 4)
= (x+ 1) (3x – 4)
So, the value of 3x2 – a – 4 is zero, when (a + 1) = 0 or (3x – 4) = 0
i.e.,
or 
Now,
Sum of zeroes =
=
Product of zeroes =

3a2 – x – 4 = 3x2 – 4x + 3x – 4
= x(3x – 4) + 1(3x – 4)
= (x+ 1) (3x – 4)
So, the value of 3x2 – a – 4 is zero, when (a + 1) = 0 or (3x – 4) = 0
i.e.,


Now,
Sum of zeroes =

=

Product of zeroes =
