If α and β are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial
, find a polynomial whose roots are (i)
(ii)
.
(i)
![]()
A quadratic equation when sum and product of its zeros is given by:
, where k is a constant
Sum of the roots =
=
=
= ![]()
Product of the roots =
=
= ![]()
Sum of the zeros of new eqn =
= ![]()
Product of the zeros of new eqn =
=![]()
![]()
(ii) A quadratic equation when sum and product of its zeros is given by:
, where k is a constant
Sum of the roots =
=
=
= ![]()
Product of the roots =
=
= ![]()
Sum of the zeros of new eqn =
=
=
=
= ![]()
Product of the zeros of new eqn =
=
=
=
= ![]()
Therefore eqn is: ![]()
