Solution

Let px = x2 + x6 - 2Now, zeroes of px are given by solving the equation px = 0x2 + x6 - 2 = 06x2 + x - 12 = 06x2 + 9x - 8x - 12 = 03x2x+3 - 42x+3 = 03x-42x+3 = 03x-4 = 0 or 2x+3 = 0x = 43 or x = -32Now, sum of zeroes = 43 + -32 = 43 - 32 = 8-96 = -16 = -coefficient of xcoefficient of x2product of zeroes = 43 × -32 = -2 = constant termcoefficient of x2
