For each of the following, find a quadratic polynomial whose sum and product respectively of the zeroes are as given. Also find the zeroes of these polynomials by factorisation minus 3
Answer.
Solution. Zeroes : zeroes of the polynomial are the value(s) that makes it equal to 0.
Here sum of zeroes
Product of zeroes
Let p(x) is the required polynomial
p(x) = x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + (product of zeros)
Multiplying by we get
Hence, is the required polynomial
are the zeroes of p(x).
