find zeroes of polynomial x^3-3x^2-25x+75 if its two zeroes are equal; in magnitude but opposite in direction
Let α, β, and γ be the zeroes of x3 – 3x2 – 25x + 75
Given:
α = –β
Now
Sum of roots = α + β + γ = α – α + γ = γ =3
and product of roots = αβγ = α(–α)γ
= – α2 γ = – 75
⇒ 3α2 = 75
So, the required zeroes are 3, 5 and – 5
