Question

The sum and product of the zeros of a quadratic polynomial are -1 divide 2 and -3 respectively.what is the quadratic polynomial?

Answer 1

let the roots of the polynomial is said to be a,b

sum of roots is a+b=-1/2

product of roots=-3

the equation of quadratic polynomial is

x^2-(a+b)x+ab

x^2+1/2x-3

2x^2+x-6=0
