Previous Year Questions - Polynomials

SHORT ANSWER TYPE QUESTIONS

Q.1. Find the quadratic polynomial sum and product of whose zeros are -1 and -20, respectively. Also, find
the zeros of the polynomial so obtained.    [CBSE 2019, (30/4/2)]
Ans: Let α and β be the zeros of the quadratic polynomial.
∴ Sum of zeros, α + β = - 1
and Product of zeros, α . β = - 20
Now, quadratic polynomial be
x2-(α + β). x + αβ
= x2 - ( - 1 ) x - 20
= x2 + x - 20
Now, for zeros of this polynominal

⇒ x = - 5,4∴ zeros are - 5 and 4

Q.2. Find the zeros of the quadratic polynomial  and verify the relationship between zeros and

the coefficients.    [CBSE 2019, (30/2/1)]


Ans: Given:

Equating p(x) = 0⇒ ⇒

Now, sum of zeros and product of zeros =

f(x)  =x - 4x +3. find the value of α β + α2 β [CBSE 2019, (30/4/1)]
Ans: Given quadratic polynomial is
2
f(x) = x - 4x + 3
∴ Sum of zeros = ⇒ α + β = 4and product of zeros,

Q.4. Find the value of k such that the polynomial

2
.X - (k + 6)x + 2(2k - 1) has sum of its zeroes equal to half of their product.    [Delhi 2019]
Ans: The given polynomial is
x2 - (k + 6)x + 2(2k - 1)
Let α and β be the zeroes of polynomial.

So, ∴ ⇒ ⇒  2k + 12 = 4k - 2⇒ 2k

= 14 ⇒ k = 7

Q.5. Find the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial  and verify the relationship between the

zeroes and the coefficients.    [CBSE, Allahabad 2019]


Ans:

Q.6. Find all zeroes of the polynomial 3 x + 10 x - 9x - 4 if one of its zero is 1.    [Delhi 2019]
3 2
Ans: 1 is one of the zero of p(x) = 3x + 10x - 9x - 4
⇒ x = 1 satisfies the polynomial p(x)
∴ (x - 1) is a factor of p(x)
Hence (x - 1) divides p(x) completely.

Q.7. Find all zeroes of the polynomial

4 3 2
(2x - 9x + 5x + 3x - 1) if two of its zeroes are (2 + √3) and (2 - √3).    [CBSE 2018]
Ans: Since, (2 + √3) and (2 - √3) are the two zeroes o f the given polynomial  2x4 - 9x3 + 5x2 + 3x - 1,

Q.8. If α find β are zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 4x2 + 4x + 1,

then form a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 2α and 2β.    [CBSE 2015]
2
Ans: p(x) = 4x + 4x + 1
∵ α,β are  zeroes of p(x)
∴  α + β = sum of zeroes = -b/a

2
Now a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 2α and 2β.x -

(sum of zoroes)x + Product of zeroes

Q.1. If one zero of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 4x - 8kx + 8x - 9 is negative of the other, then find zeroes
2
of kx + 3kx + 2.    [CBSE 2015]
2 2
Ans: f(x) = 4x - 8kx + 8x — 9 = 4x + (8 - 8k)x - 9
Let one zero =α
∴ other zero = -α

Now Sum of zeroes =  ⇒
