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`

Annie was standing on a diving board, 48 feet above the water level. She took a dive into the pool. Her height (in feet) above the water level at any time ‘t’ in seconds is given by the polynomial h(t) such that h(t) = -16t2 + 8t + k.
The zeroes of the polynomial r(t) = -12t2 + (k - 3)t + 48 are negative of each other. Then k is ______.
