or
Obtain all other zeroes of the polynomial
9x 4 − 6x3 − 35x2 + 24x − 4, if two of its zeroes are 2
and − 2 .
Ans :
As 2 and − 2 are the zeroes of 9x 4 − 6x3 − 35x2 + 24x − 4,
So ^x − 2h and ^x + 2h are its two factors and
^x − 2h^x + 2h = x − 4

Factorising this quotient It may be easily seen that RQ = PQ

= 69x2 − 3x − 3x + 1@ and XZ = PQ or XZ || YQ

= 63x ^3x − 1h − 1 ^3x − 1h@ Similarly XY || ZQ

= 6^3x − 1h^3x − 1h@ Thus XYQZ is a rectangle.
