Q10 of 90 Page 2

Find quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are :

Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be


α = 1 + 2√3, β = 1 – 2√3


Then, α + β = 1 + 2√3 + 1 – 2√3 = 2


αβ = (1 + 2√3) × (1 – 2√3) = 1 – 12 = – 11


Sum of zeroes = α + β = 2


Product of zeroes = αβ = – 11


Then, the quadratic polynomial


= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes


= x2 – (2)x + ( – 11)


= x2 – 2x – 11
