Class10MathsPolynomials Ex 2.1

The document discusses finding the zeros of various quadratic polynomials by factorizing them. It verifies the relationship between the zeros and coefficients by checking if the sum of the zeros equals the coefficient of the x term and if the product of the zeros equals the constant term. Examples of finding zeros and verifying relationships for polynomials like x^2-2x-8, 4s^2-4s+1, and 3x^2-x-4 are provided. The document also gives problems to find quadratic polynomials with given sums and products of zeros.

Exercise 2.2

Q1: Find the zeroes of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients.
(i) x2-2x-8
(ii) 4s2-4s+1
(iii) 6x2-3-7x
(iv) 4u2+8u
(v) t2-15
(vi) 3x2 - x -4

Answer: (i) x2-2x-8 = (x - 4)(x +2)


⇒x2-2x-8 = 0 when x - 4= 0 or x + 2 = 0
∴ Zeroes of x2- 2x - 8 are 4 and -2.

Sum of zeroes =

Product of zeroes =

Hence relationship between zeroes and coefficients are verified.

(ii) 4s2-4s+1
= (2s -1 )2
⇒ 4s2-4s+1 = 0 when 2s -1 = 0
⇒ s = 1/2
∴ Zeroes of 4s2-4s+1 are ½ and ½.

Sum of zeroes =

Product of zeroes =

Hence relationship between zeroes and coefficients are verified.

(iii) 6x2-3-7x
= (3x + 1)(2x - 3)
⇒ 6x2-3-7x = 0 when 3x + 1 = 0 OR 2x - 3 = 0
⇒ x = -1/3 or x = 3/2 ∴ Zeroes of 6x2-3-7x are -1/3 and 3/2
Sum of zeroes =

Product of zeroes =
Hence relationship between zeroes and coefficients are verified.

(iv) 4u2+8u
= 4u(u + 2)
⇒ 4u2+8u = 0 when 4u = 0 OR u + 2 = 0
⇒ u = 0 OR u = -2
∴ Zeroes of 4u2+8u are 0 OR -2
Sum of zeroes =

Product of zeroes =

Hence relationship between zeroes and coefficients are verified.

(v) t2-15
= t2 - 0t -15 = (t - √15)(t + √15)
⇒ The value of t2-15 is 0 when t - √15 = 0 OR t + √15 = 0
⇒ t = √15 or t = -√15.
Sum of zeroes = √15 -√15 = 0
Product of zeores = (√15) ☓ (-√15) = -15
Hence relationship between zeroes and coefficients are verified.

(vi) 3x2 - x -4
= 3x2 - 3x + 4x -4 = 3x(x + 1) - 4(x + 1) = (x + 1)(3x - 4)
⇒ The value of 3x2 - x -4 is 0, when x + 1 = 0 OR 3x -4 = 0
⇒ x = -1 OR x = 4/3
Sum of zeroes = -1 + 4/3 = -1/3
Product of zeroes = -1 ☓ 4/3 = -4/3
Hence relationship between zeroes and coefficients are verified.

Q2: Find a quadratic polynomial each with the given numbers as the sum and product of its zeroes respectively.
(i) 1/4, -1
√
(ii) √2, 1/3
(iii) 0, √5
(iv) 1,1
(v)-1/4, 1/4
(vi) 4,1
