Q3 of 108 Page 38

With the following polynomials their zeroes are given. Find their all other zeroes:

f(x) = x3 + 13x2 + 32x + 20; –2


Given that -2 is the zero of the polynomial.

So x = -2 which is x + 2 = 0



The other zeroes are as follows:


x2 + 11x + 10 = 0


Solving the above quadratic equation.


Sum = 11


Product = 10


So the numbers which satisfy the above condition are 10 and 1


x2 + 10x + x + 10 = 0


x(x + 1)+ 10(x + 1) = 0


(x + 10) (x + 1) = 0


Solving the first part,


x + 10 = 0


x = -10


Solving the second part,


x + 1 = 0


x = -1


Therefore the other zeroes of the polynomials are -1 and -10.
