The sum of two zeros of the polynomial f(x) = 2x² + (p + 3)x + 5 is zero, then the value of p is

Given: A Quadratic equation f(x) = 2x² + (p + 3)x + 5 and sum of roots is zero.

Required: to find the value of p

We know that, sum of roots =

∴ = 0

⇒ -(p + 3) = 0

⇒ P + 3 = 0

∴ p = –3

∴ The value of p is –3

∴ Correct option is – Option (C)

The system of equations x –4y = 8 , 3x –12y = 24

If one zero of the polynomial p(x) = (k + 4)x² + 13x + 3k is reciprocal of the other, then k is equal to

The remainder when x² – 2x + 7 is divided by x + 4 is

The quotient when x³ – 5x² + 7x – 4 is divided by x–1 is
