Consider the quadratic polynomial 2x2+3x−62x^2+3x-6. (i) Solve 2x2+3x−6=02x^2+3x-6=0 and denote its zeros by α\alpha and β\beta. (ii) Write 2x2+3x−62x^2+3x-6 as 2(x−α)(x−β)2(x-\alpha)(x-\beta). (iii) Expand the expression obtained in part (ii) to confirm that it is identical to the original polynomial. (iv) Find the value of the polynomial at x=α+βx=\alpha+\beta.
