Find the quadratic polynomial in each case, with the given numbers as the sum and product of its zeroes respectively.

1, 1

Given: α + β = 1

αβ = 1


Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c …(1)


Where, a≠0


And zeroes of the polynomial are α and β .


Now we know that,




And,



If a = 1



⇒ b = -1 …(2)


⇒c = 1 …(3)


From (2) and (3),


a = 1, b = -1 and c = 1


Hence, the polynomial is x2 – x + 1
