Solution
Given that,
Quadratic polynomial is x2 + 6x + 8
`\implies` x2 + 6x + 8
`\implies` x2 + 4x + 2x + 8
`\implies` x(x + 4) + 2(x + 4)
`\implies` (x + 2)(x + 4)
Zeroes are – 2, – 4
Now, Sum of zeroes = – 2 + (– 4) = – 6
Product of zeroes = (– 2) × (– 4) = 8
Also, Sum of zeroes = `(-b)/a = (-6)/1` = – 6
Product of zeroes = `c/a = 8/1` = 8
Hence, relationship between zeroes and coefficients verified.

Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in seconds is given by the polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = -16t2 + 8t + k.
