Question 1.
Find the zeros of the following (RBSESolutions.com) quadratic polynomial and test the relation between zeros and coefficients.
(i) 4x² + 8x
(ii) 4x² – 4x + 1
(iii) 6x² – x – 2
(iv) x² – 15
(v) x² – (√3 + 1) x + √3
(vi) 3x² – x – 4
Solution
(i) Given polynomial
f(x) = 4x² + 8x ⇒ f(x) = 4x(x + 2)
To find zeros of (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial f(x), f(x) will be zero.
f(x) = 0
⇒ 4x(x + 2) = 0
⇒ x = 0 or x + 2 = 0
⇒ x = 0 or x = -2
Thus zeros of f(x) are 0 and -2
Relations between zeros of polynomial and coefficient.
Sum of zeros = 0 + (-2) = -2
and product of zeros = 0 × -2 = 0

Thus, relation between zeros and polynomial is correct.

(ii) Given polynomial
f(x) = 4x² – 4x + 1 = (2x)² – 2 (2x). 1 + (1)² = (2x – 1)²
To find zeros polynomial f(x), f(x) will be zero.
⇒ (2x – 1)² = 0
It (2x – 1)² = 0
⇒ 2x – 1 = 0
⇒ x = \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
Here zeros of (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial are same.
Therefore, zeros of polynomial are \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) and \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\)
Relation between coefficient and zeros of polynomial

Thus, relation between zeros and polynomial is correct.
(iii) Given polynomial
f(x) = 6x² – x – 2 = 6x² – 4x + 3x – 2 = 2x(3x – 2) + 1(3x – 2) = (3x – 2)(2x + 1)
To find zeros of 6x² – x – 2, f(x) = 0
If 3x – 2 = 0 then 3x = 2 ⇒ x = \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\)
or 2x + 1 = 0 then 2x = -1 ⇒ x = \(\frac { -1 }{ 2 }\)
Therefore zeros of (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial \(\frac { 2 }{ 3 }\) , \(\frac { -1 }{ 2 }\)
Relation between zeros and coefficient of polynomial

Thus, relation between zeros and polynomial is correct.
(iv) Given (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial f(x) = x² – 15
To find zeros of f(x), f(x) will be zero
⇒ f(x) = 0
x² = 15
or x = ±√15
Therefore zeros of polynomial x² – 15 are = +√15, -√15
Relation between zeros and coefficient of polynomial
Sum of zeros = √15 – √15 = 0
Product of zeros comparing given polynomial = √15 × (-√15) = -15
Comparing given polynomial x² – 15 = 0 with ax² + bx + c
a = 1, b = 0 and c = -15

Thus, relation between zeros and polynomial is correct.
(v) Given (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial
f(x) = x² – (√3 + 1) x + √3
= x² – √3x – x + √3
= x (x – √3) – 1(x – √3)
= (x – √3)(x – 1)
Therefore, f(x) = (x – √3)(x – 1)
To find polynomial f(x), f(x) will be zero.
⇒ f(x) = o
If (x – √3) = 0 then x = √3
or (x – 1) = 0 then x = 1
Therefore, zeros of polynomial are √3, +1
Relation between zeros and coefficient of polynomial
Sum of zeros = (√3 + 1)
product of zeros = √3 × (+1) = √3
comparing given polynomial by ax² + bx + c
a = 1, b = -(√3 + 1), c = √3

Thus, relation between zeros and polynomial is correct.
(vi) Given (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial f(x) = 3x² – x – 4
= 3x² – (4 – 3) x – 4
= 3x² – 4x + 3x – 4
= x(3x – 4) + 1(3x – 4)
= (3x – 4) (x + 1)
3x² – x – 4 = (3x – 4) (x + 1)
To find zeros of f(x),
⇒ f(x) = 0
⇒ (3x – 4)(x + 1) = 0
If 3x – 4 = 0 then 3x = 4 ⇒ x = \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\)
or x + 1 = 0 then x = -1
Thus, zeros of polynomial are \(\frac { 4 }{ 3 }\) and – 1.
The relation between zeros and coefficient of the polynomial


Thus, relation between zeros and polynomial is correct.

Question 2.
Find quadratic polynomial. Sum and product (RBSESolutions.com) of whose zeros are given numbers respectively.
(i) -3, 2
(ii) √2, \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\)
(iii) \(\frac { -1 }{ 4 }\) , \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\)
(iv) 0, √5
(v) 4, 1
(vi) 1, 1
Solution
If zeros of quadratic polynomial f(x) are known, then find required polynomial by following formula
Let f(x) = k{x² – (sum of zeros) x + product of zeros}, where k = a real number
(i) Lef f(x) be a polynomial.
Sum and product of whose zeros are -3 and 2 respectively.
f(x) = k[x² – (-3)x + 2] = k[x² + 3x + 2] (∴ k = real number)
Thus required polynomial f(x) = x² + 3x + 2
(ii) Let f(x) is quadratic polynomial.
Sum and product of whose zeros are √2 and \(\frac { 1 }{ 3 }\) respectively.

where \(\frac { k }{ 3 }\) is a constant term, real number.
Hence, required polynomial is 3x² – 3√2x + 1
(iii) Let f(x) is a quadratic (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial sum and product of whose zeros are \(\frac { -1 }{ 4 }\) and \(\frac { 1 }{ 4 }\)
respectively.

Hence, required (RBSESolutions.com) polynomial is 4x² + x + 1.
(iv) Let f(x) is a quadratic polynomial.
Sum and product of whose zeros are 0 and √5 respectively.
f(x) = k[ x² – 0. x + √5 ] = k[x² + √5 ] (where k is a constant term)
Hence, required polynomial is x² + √5
(v) Let f(x) is a quadratic polynomial.
Sum and product of whose zeros are 4 and 1 respectively
f(x) = k[x² – 4x + 1], (where k is constant term)
Hence, required polynomial is x² – 4x + 1
(vi) Let f(x) is a quadratic polynomial.
Sum and product of whose zeros are 1 and 1 respectively.
f(x) = k{x² – 1.x + 1) = k(x² – x + 1), where k is constant term
Hence, required polynomial is x² – x + 1

Question 3.
If sum of square of zeros of (RBSESolutions.com) quadratic equation f(x) = x² – 8x + k is 40 then find the value of k.
Solution
Given polynomial f(x) = x² – 8x + k
Let α and β are zeros of polynomial f(x) then

Now, from equation (i)
(α + β) = 8
Squaring both sides,
(α + β)² = 8²
⇒ a² + β² + 2αβ = 64 …(iii)
It is given that sum of square of zeros is 40.
i.e., α² + β² = 40
Putting values from equation (i) and (ii) in (iii)
40 + 2k = 64
⇒ 2k = 64 – 40
⇒ 2k = 24
⇒ k = 12
Thus k = 12
