Q12 of 113 Page 61

If the product of the zeros of the quadratic polynomial x2 ‒ 4x + k is 3 then write the value of k.

It is given in the question that, zero of the polynomial x2 – 4x + k is 3

Now by using the relationship between the zeros of the quadratic polynomial we have:


Sum of zeros =


3 = k/1


k = 3
