Verify that -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial 4x^3+20x^2+2x-3. also verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficient

Solution:

we have been asked to verify that -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial

To verify that whether the given values are zeros or not we will substitute the values in the given Polynomial, if it will returns zero, it mean that value is Zero of the polynomial. But if it return any thing other than zeros it mean that value is not the zero of the polynomial.

Let

Hence -5, 1/2, and 3/4 are not the zeroes of the given Polynomial.

Since sum of roots

But

Hence we do not find any relation between the coefficients and zeros.

Anyway if the given values doesn't represents the zeros then those given values will not have any relation with the coefficients of the p[polynomial.

answer: the common difference is -0.10
