Question

24. If a and B are the zeros of a quadratic polynomial such that a + B = 15 and a - B = 5, then
Find quadratic polynomial

Answer 1

Answer:

α+β=24

α−β=8

(α−β)

2

=(α+β)

2

−4αβ=8

2

or,24

2

−4αβ=64

or,4αβ=576−64=512

or,αβ=128

⇒x

2

−(α+β)x+αβ=0

or,x

2

−24x+128=0

Hence x

2

−24x+128=0 is the quadratic polynomial for the required condition
