Explanation: Distance between C(–3, 2) and B
atmost two zeroes.
(1, 6)
43. (a) x2 + x – 2
Explanation: A quadratic polynomial is written = (1 + 3)2 + (6 − 2)2 = 16 + 16
as = 4 2 units.
x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes

So, required polynomial
48. (b) J
= x – (– 1)x + (– 2) 2 Explanation: Coordinates of the required
player are (2, –6) or (2, 6) and J is at (2, –6).
= x2 + x – 2
44. (a) 5 49. (c) x = –3, y = 2
Explanation: Let p(x) = (k – 2)x2 – 2x – 5 Explanation: Let (x, y) is the mid-point of A
Since (–1) is a zero of the given polynomial, (–3, 5) and H(–3, – 1).
So, p(–1) = 0 –3 – 3
So, x=
(k – 2) (–1)2 – 2(–1) – 5 = 0 2
Þ k–2+2–5 =0 5 −1
and y=
Þ k =5 2

7 ⇒ x = –3, y = 2

b c Explanation: If player F is shifted to IV Quadrant
Explanation: a + b = – = 7, ab = = 12.
a a symmetric to D w.r.t. x-axis, then coordinates of
1 1 α +β 7 F are (3, –4).
Now, + = =
