If -1 is a Zero of the Polynomial p(x)=`"x"^{2}` -7x-8 , then the other Zero is
If -1 is a zero of the polynomial p(x)=`"x"^{2}` -7x-8 , then the other zero is
(a) -8
(b) -7
(c) 1
(d) 8
(d) 8
Explanation:
Explanation:
Given,
p(x)=`"x"^{2}` -7x-8
Let, α = -1, and β be zeros of p(x) [α = -1 because -1 is zeros of p(x)]
Now, Product of zeroes = `"c"/"a"`
= -1`\times`β = `-8/1`
= β = 8
∴ other zero is 8
So, the correct answer is option (d) 8
