Q9. Find the quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are reciprocals of


the zeroes of the polynomials
f(x) = ax² + bx + c, a ≠0, c ≠0.
Solution

Let α and β be zero of the polynomial f(x)=ax + bx + c, a≠0, c≠0.


∴,α+β = −b/a
Also, αβ = c/a
∴ 1/α + 1/β
=α + β / αβ
= −b / a × a / c
= −b / c
And, 1 / α × 1 / β
= 1 / αβ
=a / c
A quadratic polynomial whose zeros are 1/α and 1/β is x –(1/α + 1/β)x
+1/α ⋅ 1/β.
Thus, polynomial is x +(b/c)x + a/c.

Q10. Compute the zeroes of the polynomial 4x2 – 4x – 8. Also,


establish a relationship between the zeroes and coefficients.
Solution
Let the given polynomial be p(x) = 4x2 – 4x – 8
To find the zeroes, take p(x) = 0
Now, factorise the equation 4x2 – 4x – 8 = 0
4x² – 4x – 8 = 0
4(x² – x – 2) = 0
x² – x – 2 = 0
x² – 2x + x – 2 = 0
x(x – 2) + 1(x – 2) = 0
(x – 2)(x + 1) = 0
x = 2, x = -1 So, the roots of 4x² – 4x – 8 are -1 and 2.
Relation between the sum of zeroes and coefficients:
-1 + 2 = 1 = -(-4)/4
Relation between the product of zeroes and coefficients:
(-1) × 2 = -2 = -8/4

Q11. If α and β are the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = 2x² + 5x + k


satisfying the relation, α² + β² + αβ = 21/4 , find the value of k
Solution
To find the value of k for the polynomial f(x)=2x +5x+k given that the
zeros α and β satisfy the relation α +β +αβ=214, we can follow these
steps:
The polynomial is given as: f(x)=2x +5x+k
Here, we can identify:
a=2
b=5
c=k

According to Vieta's formulas for a quadratic polynomial:


The sum of the roots α+β= −ba = −5
The product of the roots αβ = ca = k

We square the sum of the roots:


(α+β) =(−5/2)² =25/4
Using the identity (α+β) =α +β +2αβ, we can express α +β :
α +β =(α+β) −2αβ=25/4−2αβ
we know αβ=k .
Therefore:
α² +β² =25/4−2(k/2)=25/4−k

We know from the problem statement that:


α² +β² +αβ=21/4
Substituting α² +β² into this equation gives:
(25/4−k)+k/2 =21/4
To simplify:
25/4−k+k/2 =21/4
To eliminate the fractions, multiply the entire equation by 4:
25−4k+2k=21
This simplifies to:
25−2k=21
Rearranging gives:
−2k=21−25
−2k=−4
k=2
Conclusion
Thus, the value of k is: 2
Q12 Find the zeroes of the polynomials 3x² + 4x – 4 by factorisation
method.
Solution
The quadratic expression is in the form ax +bx+c, where:
a=3
b=−4
c=−4
We need to calculate the product of a and c:
ac=3×(−4)=−12
We need to find two numbers that multiply to −12 (the value of ac) and add
to −4 (the value of b).
The two numbers that satisfy this condition are −6 and 2:
−6×2=−12 and −6+2=−4

We can rewrite the quadratic expression by splitting the middle term using
the two numbers found:
3x² −6x+2x−4
Now, we will group the terms:
(3x² −6x)+(2x−4)

From the first group 3x² −6x, we can factor out 3x: 3x(x−2)
From the second group 2x−4, we can factor out 2: 2(x−2)
Now we can combine the factored groups: 3x(x−2)+2(x−2)
We can factor out the common binomial (x−2): (x−2)(3x+2)

Thus, the factorised form of the expression 3x² −4x−4 is: (x−2)(3x+2)

The zeroes of the given polynomial is 2 and -3/2


Q13. Find the quadratic polynomial, sum and product of whose
zeroes are –1 and –20 respectively. Also find the zeroes of the
polynomial so obtained.

Solution

Given:
Sum of zeroes (α + β) = -1
Product of zeroes (α * β) = -20

The standard form of a quadratic polynomial can be expressed as:


P(x)=x −(α+β)x+(α∗β)

Substituting the values of the sum and product of zeroes into the
polynomial:
P(x)=x −(−1)x+(−20)
P(x)=x +x−20

Now, we will factor the polynomial P(x)=x +x−20.


To factor, we need two numbers that multiply to -20 (the product) and
add to +1 (the sum). The numbers that meet these criteria are +5 and -4.
So, we can rewrite the polynomial as:
P(x)=(x+5)(x−4)

To find the zeroes, we set the polynomial equal to zero:


(x+5)(x−4)=0
Setting each factor to zero gives us:
1. x+5=0 → x=−5
2. x−4=0 → x=4

The quadratic polynomial is:


P(x)=x +x−20

The zeroes of the polynomial are:


- x=−5
- x=4
Q14. If one zero of f(x)=4x² −8kx+8x−9 is negative of the other, find
zeroes of kx² + 3 kx + 2
Solution
The polynomial is given as:
f(x)=4x²−8kx+8x−9
We can combine the terms involving x:
f(x)=4x² +(−8k+8)x−9

For a quadratic polynomial ax +bx+c, the sum of the roots α+(−α)=0


can be expressed as: Sum of roots=−b/a Here, a=4 and b=−8k+8.
Therefore: 0=− (−8k+8)/4
This simplifies to:
0 = (8k−8)/4 Multiplying both sides by 4 gives: 0=8k−8 8k=8 ⟹ k=1

Now that we have k=1, we substitute it into the polynomial kx²+3kx+2:


f(x)=1x² +3(1)x+2=x² +3x+2

we need to factor x² +3x+2:


x² +3x+2 =(x+1)(x+2)

Setting the factored form equal to zero gives us:


(x+1)(x+2)=0
Thus, the zeros are:
x+1=0
⟹x=−1
x+2=0
⟹x=−2
The zeros of the polynomial kx +3kx+2 are −1 and −2.
