find the quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 3 and -2
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Let 1 zero be Alpha = 3
Let other zero be Beta = -2
So,
Sum of zeores = alpha + beta = 3 + (-2) = 3 - 2 =1
Product of zeroes = alpha x beta = 3 x (-2) = -6
For quadratic eq.
Using formula,
x^2 -(alpha + beta) x + (alpha x beta)
x^2 - (1) x + (-6)
x^2 - x - 6 = 0 --------eq.
Ans...
★ Given :-
Zeroes:
- α = 3,
- β = -2
★ To find :-
Quadratic polynomial = ?
★ Solution :-
For finding the quadratic polynomial,
We need to find the sum and product of zeroes.
Sum of zeroes = α + β
➝ Sum of zeroes = 3 - 2
➝ Sum of zeroes = 1
Product of zeroes = αβ
➝ Product of zeroes = 3(-2)
➝ Product of zeroes = -6
Now, for finding the polynomial,
Required polynomial = x² - (α + β)x + αβ
⇨ Required polynomial = x² - (1)x + (-6)
∴ Required polynomial = x² - x - 6
