The Hidden Term

CBSE Class 10 · Solve it one decision at a time. A wrong pick earns a nudge, never the answer.

Step 1 of 7

The problem

If α\alpha and β\beta are the zeroes of the polynomial f(x)=x2−p(x+1)−cf(x) = x^2 - p(x + 1) - c, show that (α+1)(β+1)=1−c(\alpha + 1)(\beta + 1) = 1 - c.

Step 1 · Your move

Before the guided steps, what is the product of the zeroes, αβ\alpha\beta?

f(x)=x2−p(x+1)−cf(x) = x^2 - p(x + 1) - c
