Given:
- We have been given the two zeroes of a quadratic polynomial, ie 2 and -6.
To Find:
- We need to find the quadratic polynomial and also Verify the relation between the coefficient and the zeros of the polynomial.
Solution:
Let 2 be α and -6 be β.
Sum of zeroes α + β = 2 + (-6) = 2 - 6 = -4
Product of zeroes αβ = 2 × (-6) = -12
We know that the the form of any quadratic polynomial is:
Hence the required polynomial is
Now, in order to verify the relation between the coefficient and the zeros of the polynomial we have,
Sum of zeroes = -b/a = -4/1 = -4.
Product of zeroes = c/a = -12/1 = -12.
Hence verified!
