Solution

Hi, fx= x3+2x2-3xcomparing it with ax3+bx2+cx+da = 1 , b= 2 , c = -3, d = 0 =xx2+2x-3= xx2-x+3x-3=xxx-1+3x-1= xx-1x+3so zeroes are x = 0,1,-3 so sum of roots from equation =-ba= -2from the roots calculated , sum = 0+1-3 = -2 sum of roots taken two at a time, from equation =ca= -3from the roots calculated , sum of roots taken two at a time= 0×1+1×-3+-3×0 = -3and product of roots from equation = -da= 0 from the roots calculated , product = 0×1×-3 =0
