Question 1.
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) Given polynomial is x2 – 2x – 8
We have x2 – 2x – 8 = x2 – 4x + 2x – 8
= x(x – 4) + 2(x – 4)
= (x – 4) (x + 2)
So, the value of x2 – 2x – 8 is zero
when x – 4 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 i.e.,
when x = 4 or x = -2
So, the zeroes of x2 – 2x – 8 are 4 and -2.
Sum of the zeroes = 4 – 2 = 2 Coefficient of ,x -(-2)
= – \(\frac{\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-(-2)}{1}\) = 2
And product of the zeroes = 4 × (-2) = -8
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-8}{1}\) = -8

ii) Given polynomial is 4s2 – 4s + 1
We have, 4s2 – 4s + 1
= 4s2 – 2s – 2s + 1
= 2s (2s – 1) – 1(2s – 1)
= (2s – 1) (2s – 1)
= (2s – 1)2
So, the value of 4s2 – 4s + 1 is zero
when 2s-1 = 0 or s = \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ Zeroes of the polynomial are \(\frac{1}{2}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\)
∴ Sum of the zeroes = \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 1.
= – \(\frac{\text { Coefficient of } s}{\text { Coefficient of } s^{2}}\) = –\(\frac{-4}{4}\) = 1
And product of the zeroes = \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) \times\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{1}{4}\)

iii) Given polynomial is 6x2 – 3 – 7x
We have, 6x2 – 3 – 7x = 6x2 – 7x – 3
= 6x2 – 9x + 2x – 3
= 3x(2x – 3) + 1(2x – 3)
= (2x – 3) (3x + 1)
The value of 6x2 – 3 – 7x is zero, when the value of (3x +1) (2x – 3) is 0
i.e., when 3x + 1 = 0 and 2x – 3 = 0
3x = -1 and 2x = 3
x = \(\frac{-1}{3}\) and x = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
∴ The zeroes of 6x2 – 3 – 7x = \(\frac{-1}{3}\) and \(\frac{3}{2}\)
∴ Sum of the zeroes = \(\frac{1}{3}\) + \(\frac{3}{2}\) = \(\frac{7}{6}\).
= – \(\frac{\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-(-7)}{6}\) = \(\frac{7}{6}\)
And product of the zeroes = \(\left(\frac{-1}{3}\right) \times\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)\) = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-3}{6}\) = \(\frac{-1}{2}\)

iv) Given polynomial is 4u2 + 8u
We have, 4u2 + 8u = 4u (u + 2)
The value of 4u2 + 8u is 0,
when the value of 4u(u + 2) = 0, i.e.,
when u = 0 or u + 2 = 0, i.e.,
when u = 0 (or) u = – 2
∴ The zeroes of 4u2 + 8u are 0 and – 2.
Therefore, sum of the zeroes = 0 + (-2) = -2
= – \(\frac{\text { Coefficient of } u}{\text { Coefficient of } u^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-8}{4}\) = -2
And product of the zeroes 0 . (-2) = 0
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } u^{2}}\) = \(\frac{0}{4}\) = 0

v) Given polynomial is t2 – 15.
We have, t2 – 15 = (t – √15 ) (t + √l5)
The value of t2 – 15 is 0,
when the value of (t – √15 ) (t + √l5) = 0, i.e.,
when t – √15 = 0 or t + √15 = 0, i.e.,
when t = √15 (or) t = -√15
∴ The zeroes of t2 – 15 are √15 and -√15.
Therefore, sum of the zeroes = √15 + (-√15) = 0
= – \(\frac{\text { Coefficient of } t}{\text { Coefficient of } t^{2}}\) = –\(\frac{0}{1}\) = 0
And product of the zeroes √15 × (-√15) = -15
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } t^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-15}{1}\) = -15

vi) Given polynomial is 3x2 – x – 4
we have, 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 the value of (x + 1) (3x – 4) is 0.
i.e., when x + 1 = 0 or 3x – 4 = 0
i.e., when x = -1 or x = \(\frac{4}{3}\)
∴ The zeroes of 3x2 – x – 4 are -1 and \(\frac{4}{3}\)
Therefore, sum of the zeroes = -1 + \(\frac{4}{3}\) = \(\frac{-3+4}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
= – \(\frac{\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-(-1)}{3}\) = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
And product of the zeroes -1 × \(\frac{4}{3}\) = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)
= \(\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^{2}}\) = \(\frac{-4}{3}\)

Question 2.
Find the quadratic polynomial in each case, with the given numbers as the sum and product of its zeroes respectively.
i) \(\frac{1}{4}\), -1
ii) √2, \(\frac{1}{3}\)
iii) 0, √5
iv) 1, 1
v) –\(\frac{1}{4}\), \(\frac{1}{4}\)
vi) 4, 1
Answer:
Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c
and its zeroes be α and β.
i) Here, α + β = \(\frac{1}{4}\) and αβ = -1
Thus, the polynomial formed = x2 – (sum of the zeroes)x + product of the zeroes
= x2 – (\(\frac{1}{4}\))x – 1
= x2 – \(\frac{x}{4}\) – 1
The other polynomials are (x2 – \(\frac{x}{4}\) – 1)
then the polynomial is 4x2 – x – 4.

AP SSC 10th Class Maths Solutions Chapter 3 Polynomials Ex 3.3

ii) Here, α + β = √2 and αβ = \(\frac{1}{3}\)
Thus, the polynomial formed = x2 – (sum of the zeroes)x + product of the zeroes
= x2 – (√2)x + \(\frac{1}{3}\)
= x2 – √2x + \(\frac{1}{3}\)
The other polynomials are (x2 – √2x + \(\frac{1}{3}\))
then the polynomial is 3x2 – 3√2x + 1.

iii) Here, α + β = 0 and αβ = √5
Thus, the polynomial formed = x2 – (sum of the zeroes)x + product of the zeroes
= x2 – (0)x + √5
= x2 + √5

iv) Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c and its zeroes be α and β.
Then α + β = 1 = \(\frac{-(-1)}{1}\) = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) and
αβ = 1 = latex]\frac{1}{1}[/latex] = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
If a = 4, then b = 1 and c = 1
∴ One quadratic polynomial which satisfies the given conditions is 4x2 + x + 1.

v) Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c and its zeroes be α and β.
Then α + β = \(\frac{-1}{4}\) = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) and
αβ = \(\frac{1}{4}\) = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
If a = 4, then b = 1 and c = 1
∴ One quadratic polynomial which satisfies the given conditions is 4x2 + x + 1.

vi) Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c and its zeroes be α and β.
Then α + β = 4 = \(\frac{-(-4)}{1}\) = \(\frac{-b}{a}\) and
αβ = 1 = \(\frac{1}{1}\) = \(\frac{c}{a}\)
If a = 1, then b = -4 and c = 1
∴ One quadratic polynomial which satisfies the given conditions is x2 – 4x + 1.

Question 3.
Find the quadratic polynomial, for the zeroes α, β given in each case.
i) 2, -1
ii) √3, -√3
iii) \(\frac{1}{4}\), -1
iv) \(\frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Answer:
i) Let the polynomial be ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0 and its zeroes be α and β.
Here α = 2 and β = – 1
Sum of the zeroes = α + β = 2 + (-l) = 1
Product of the zeroes = αβ = 2 × (-1) = -2
Therefore the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c is x2 – (α + β)x + αβ = [x2 – x – 2]
the quadratic polynomial will be x2 – x – 2.

ii) Let the zeroes be α = √3 and β = -√3
Sum of the zeroes = α + β
= √3 + (-√3) = 0
Product of the zeroes = αβ
= √3 × (-√3) = -3
∴ The quadratic polynomial
ax2 + bx + c is [x2 – (α + β)x + αβ]
= [x2 – 0.x + (-3)] = [x2 – 3]
the quadratic polynomial will be x2 – 3.

iii) Let the zeroes be α = \(\frac{1}{4}\) and β = -1
Sum of the zeroes = α + β
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) + (-1) = \(\frac{1+(-4)}{4}\) = \(\frac{-3}{4}\)
Product of the zeroes = αβ
= \(\frac{1}{4}\) × (-1) = \(\frac{-1}{4}\)
∴ The quadratic polynomial
ax2 + bx + c is [x2 – (α + β)x + αβ]
= [x2 – \(\left(\frac{-3}{4}\right)\).x + (\(\frac{-1}{4}\))]
the quadratic polynomial will be 4x2 + 3x – 1.

iv) Let the zeroes be α = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and β = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Sum of the zeroes = α + β
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) + \(\frac{3}{2}\) = \(\frac{1+3}{2}\) = \(\frac{4}{2}\) = 2
Product of the zeroes = αβ
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × \(\frac{3}{2}\) = \(\frac{3}{4}\)
∴ The quadratic polynomial
ax2 + bx + c is [x2 – (α + β)x + αβ]
= [x2 – 2x + (\(\frac{3}{4}\))]
the quadratic polynomial will be 4x2 – 8x + 3.

Question 4.
Verify that 1, -1 and -3 are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial x3 + 3x2 – x – 3 and check the relationship between zeroes and the coefficients.
Answer:
Given cubic polynomial
p(x) = x3 + 3x2 – x – 3
Comparing the given polynomial with ax3 + bx2 + cx + d, we get a = 1, b = 3, c = -1, d = -3
Futher given zeroes are 1,-1 and – 3
p(1) = (1)3 + 3(1)2 – 1 – 3
= 1 + 3 – 1 – 3 = 0
p(-1) = (-1)3 + 3(-1)2 – 1 – 3
= -1 + 3 + 1 – 3 = 0
p(-3) = (-3)3 + 3(-3)2 – (-3) – 3
= -27 + 27 + 3 – 3 = 0
Therefore, 1, -1 and -3 are the zeroes of x3 + 3x2 – x – 3.
So, we take α = 1, β = -1 and γ = -3 Now,
α + β + γ = 1 + (-1) + (-3) = -3
αβ + βγ + γα = 1(-l) + (-1) (-3) + (-3)1
= -1 + 3 – 3 = -1
= \(\frac{c}{a}\) = \(\frac{-1}{1}\) = -1
αβγ = 1 (-1) (-3) = 3 = \(\frac{-d}{a}\) = \(\frac{-(-3)}{1}\) = 3
