Given, α and β are zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ð‘¥2 − 6ð‘¥ + ð‘Ž
Now, α + β = 6 ......1
Given, 3𛼠+ 2𛽠= 20 ........2
Multiply by 3 in equation 1, we get
3α + 3β = 18 ......3
Subtract equation 2 and 3, we get
(3α + 2β) - (3α + 3β) = 20 - 18
=> 3α + 2β - 3α - 3β = 2
=> -β = 2
=> β = -2
From equation 1, we get
α + (-2) = 6
=> α - 2 = 6
=> α = 6 + 2
=> α = 8
Now, product of the zeroes = a/1
=> 8 * (-2) = a
=> a = -16
So, the value of a is -16
