Question

Q.The quadratic Holynomials whose zeros are -1/2 and 3 is x​

Answer 1

Answer:

Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be α=1,β=−3

Then, α+β=1+(−3)=−2

αβ=1×(−3)=−3

Sum of zeroes =α+β=−2

Product of zeroes =αβ=−3

Then, the quadratic polynomial =x

2

−( sum of zeroes )x+ product of zeroes =x

2

−(−2)x+(−3)=x

+2x−3

Verification:

Sum of zeroes =α+β=1+(−3)=−2 or

=−
