Solution
A quadratic polynomial, whose zeroes are –3 and 4, is `underlinebb(x^2/2 - x/2 - 6)`.
Explanation:
Sum of zeroes, α + β = –3 + 4 = 1
Product of zeroes, αβ = –3 × 4 = –12
Therefore, the quadratic polynomial becomes,
x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + (product of zeroes)
= x2 – (α + β)x + (αβ)
= x2 – (1)x + (–12)
= x2 – x – 12
Divide by 2, we get
= `x^2/2 - x/2 -12/2`
= `x^2/2 - x/2 - 6`
