p ^x h = 4x2 - 12x + 9. Ans : [Board Term-1, 2016 Set-O4YP6G7]
Ans : Product of (zeroes) roots,
p (x) = 4x2 - 12x + 9 c = 2a = a 2
We have
a 1 #a =2
= 4x2 - 6x - 6x + 9

Sum of zeroes, a+b = 6 n m
Ans : [ Board Term-1, 2012, Set-40 ]
Product of zeroes ab = 9

Now 2
p (x) = x - (a + b) x + ab We have m + n = m2 + n2 = (m + n) - 2mn (1)
n m mn mn
Thus = x2 - 6x + 9
Thus quadratic polynomial is x2 - 6x + 9 . Sum of zeroes m + n = - 11

Now p (x) = x2 - 6x + 9
= ^x - 3h^x - 3h Product of zeroes mn = - 4

p ^x h = kx2 - 4x + k . Ans : [ Board Term-1, 2012, Set-48 ]
Ans : [ Board Term-1, 2012, Set-62 ]
We have f ^x h = 14x2 - 42k2 x - 9
We have p ^x h = kx2 - 4x + k Let one zero be a , then other zero will be - a .
Since, - 1 is a zero of the polynomial, then
Sum of zeroes = a + ^- ah = 0 .
p ^- 1h = 0 Thus sum of zero will be 0.
k ^- 1h2 - 4 ^- 1h + k = 0

Ans : [ Board Term-1, 2013, FFC ], Ans : [ Board Term-1, 2013, Set FFC ]
We have p (x) = x2 + ax + b We have f ^x h = x2 - x - k
Since a and b , are the zeroes of polynomial, we get, Since a and b are the zeroes of the polynomial, then
