Find the quadratic polynomial, the sum of whose zeroes is -5 and their product is 6.

Answer»

Let the required quadratic polynomial is ax2 + bx + c. … (1) 

Therefore,

Sum of zeros is \(-\frac{b}{a}\) = −5 (given) 

⇒ b = 5a. 

And product of zeros is \(\frac{c}{a}\) = 6 (given) 

⇒ c = 6a. 

By putting the values of b and c in equation (1), we get the quadratic polynomial.

ax2 + 5ax +6a = a(x2 + 5x + 6) 

Where a is any real number except zero. 

Hence,

The required polynomial is a(x2+5x+6), a ≠ 0, a∈R.
