Question

A person distributes k books to some needy students. If k is a zero of the polynomial x² –100x – 20000, then (i) Find the number of books distributed (ii) Which moral values depicted by the person impressed you?

Answer 1

a)GIVEN that k is a zero of the polynomial  x² –100x - 20000.

Let f(x) =  x²  –100x  – 20000.
Since k is a zero of f(x) so (x=k)

On putting x= k in f(x).
k²  –100k  – 20000
k² -200k +100k - 20000
k (k - 200) +100(k -200)
(k+100) (k-200)

f(x)=0
(k+100) (k-200)= 0
(k+100)= 0 or  (k-200)= 0
k = -100 or k= 200

k = 200 , k=-100[number of books can't be negative]
Hence, the number of books distributed = 200.

b) Love & care, humanity, kindness, etc.
