If a quadratic polynomial f(x) is a square of a linear polynomial, then its two zeros are coincident. (True/False).

Open in App

Solution

The polynomial has two identical factors. The curve cuts X axis at two coincident points that is exactly at one point.

Hence, quadratic polynomial is a square of linear polynomial then its two zeros are coincident.
