Question
Find the quadratic polynomial, sum of whose zeroes is `sqrt2` and their product is `(1/3)`.
Advertisements
Solution
We can find the quadratic equation if we know the sum of the roots and product of the roots by using the formula
`x^2`-(sum of the roots)x+Product of roots =0
⇒` x^2-sqrt2x+1/3=0`
`⇒ 3x^2-3sqrt2x+1=0`
