Question

Write the quadratic polynomial sum of whoose zeroes is 0 and one zero is 2 ?

Answer 1

SOLUTION :

The correct option is (a) : x² - 9

Let α  and β are the zeroes of the  polynomial .

Given : Sum of the zeroes (α + β) = 0 and one zero (α) = 3 .

(α + β) = 0 ………………..(1)

3 + β = 0

β = 0 - 3

β = - 3

On substituting β = - 3 in eq 1 .

(α + β) = 0

α +(-3 )= 0

α - 3 = 0

α = 3  

Product of the zeroes = αβ

Product of the zeroes = 3 × -3 = -9

αβ = - 9 ………………(2)

Then, the required quadratic polynomial is :  

[x² –(sum of the zeroes)x + (product of the zeroes)] = 0  

= [x² –(α + β)x + (α β)]  

= x² -(0)x + (-9)

[From eq 1 & 2 ]

= x² - 9

Hence, the required quadratic polynomial is x² - 9.
