Answer

Let,

⇒ 4s2 - 4s + 1 = 0

⇒ 4s2 - 2s - 2s + 1 = 0

⇒ 2s(2s - 1) - 1(2s - 1) = 0

⇒ (2s - 1)(2s - 1) = 0

⇒ (2s - 1)= 0 or (2s - 1) = 0

⇒ 2s = 1 or 2s = 1

⇒ s = 12\dfrac{1}{2} or s = 12\dfrac{1}{2}.

Sum of the zeroes = 12+12=1=(4)4=(Coefficient of s)(Coefficient of s2)\dfrac{1}{2} + \dfrac{1}{2} = 1 = \dfrac{-(-4)}{4} = \dfrac{-\text{(Coefficient of s)}}{\text{(Coefficient of s}^2)}.

Product of zeroes = 12×12=14=Constant termCoefficient of s2\dfrac{1}{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} = \dfrac{1}{4} = \dfrac{\text{Constant term}}{\text{Coefficient of s}^2}

Hence, for zero of the polynomial 4g2 - 4g + 1, g = 12,12\dfrac{1}{2}, \dfrac{1}{2}.
