Class 10 Mathematics Polynomials: NCERT Solutions for Question 2
Find a quadratic polynomial each with the given numbers as the sum and product of its zeroes respectively.
(i) Let α, β are the zeroes of the polynomial ax2+ bx +c, therefore
Sum of zeroes (α + β) = 1/4 = -b/a
Product of zeroes (αβ) = -1 = c/a
On comparing,
a = 4, b = -1 and c = - 4
Hence, the required polynomial is 4x2 –x – 4
(ii)
(iii)
Let α, β are the zeroes of the polynomial ax2+ bx +c, therefore
Sum of zeroes (α + β) = 0 = -b/a
Product of zeroes (αβ) = √5 = √5/1 = c/a
On comparing,
a = 1, b = 0 and c = √5
Hence, the required polynomial is x2 + √5
