Step-by-step explanation:
Let p(x) = x2 + ax + b.
Put a = 0, then, p(x) = x2 + b = 0
⇒ x2 = -b
⇒ x = ± ±√-b
[∴b < 0]
Hence, if one of the zeroes of quadratic polynomial p(x) is the negative of the other, then it has no linear term i.e., a = O and the constant term is negative i.e., b< 0.
Alternate Method
Let f(x) = x2 + ax+ b
and by given condition the zeroes area and – α.
Sum of the zeroes = α- α = a
=>a = 0
f(x) = x2 + b, which cannot be linear,
and product of zeroes = α .(- α) = b
⇒ -α2 = b
which is possible when, b < 0.
Hence, it has no linear term and the constant term is negative.
SOLUTION
TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT OPTION
If one of the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial of the form x² + ax + b is the negative of the other, then it
(a) has no linear term and the constant ferm is negative
(b) has no linear term and the constant term is positive
(c) can have a linear term but the constant term is negative.
(d) can have a linear term but the constant term is positive
EVALUATION
Here the given polynomial is x² + ax + b
Since one of the zeroes is the negative of the other
Let the zeroes are β and - β
Then we have
So the polynomial has no linear term and the constant ferm is negative
FINAL ANSWER
Hence the correct option is
(a) has no linear term and the constant ferm is negative
