Question


Find all the common zeroes of the polynomials x3+5x29x45 and x3+8x2+15x.


Options:
A .   3
B .   5
C .   -3
D .   -5
Answer: Option C
:
C and D

Let p(x)=x3+5x29x45
      q(x)=x3+8x2+15x
p(x)=x3+5x29x45
p(x)=x2(x+5)9(x+5)
p(x)=(x+5)(x29)
p(x)=(x+5)(x+3)(x3)
Zeroes are -5,-3 and 3.
q(x)=x3+8x2+15x
q(x)=x(x2+8x+15)
q(x)=x(x+5)(x+3)
Zeroes are 0, -5 and -3
Therefore, common zeroes are -5 and -3.
