If 1/5 and – 2 are respectively product and sum of the zeroes of a quadratic polynomial. Find the polynomial. This is a grade 10 NCERT problem.

Answer»

GIVEN:

PRODUCT of the zeroes = 1/5

Sum of zeroes = -2

TO FIND:

The quadratic polynomial

SOLUTION:

We know that,

The standard FORM of quadratic polynomial is,

k {x² - (sum of zeroes)X + product of zeroes}

Where, k ≠0

=> k {x² - (-2)x + (1/5)

=> k {x² + 2x + 1/5}

When k = 5

=> 5(x² + 2x + 1/5)

=> 5x² + 10x + 1

Therefore, the required polynomial is 5x² + 10x + 1.
