f(x) = x2 – 2ax – bx + 2ab
= x(x – 2a) – b(x – 2a)

(2x + 1) (2x – 3) = 0
⇒ 2x + 1 = 0 or 2x – 3 = 0

Using the identity, we get
(α + β)2 = α2 + β2 + 2αβ
\Rightarrow\left(\frac{-3}{2}\right)^{2}=\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+2(-3) {from eqn (1) &(2)} \Rightarrow \frac{9}{4}=\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}-6
\Rightarrow \alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}=\frac{9}{4}+6

We have to find the value of \alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}
Now, if we recall the identity
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
Using the identity, we get (\alpha+\beta)^{2}=\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+2 \alpha \beta
\Rightarrow\left(\frac{-b}{a}\right)^{2}=\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+2 \times \frac{c}{a} {from eqn (1) & (2)}
\Rightarrow \frac{b^{2}}{a^{2}}=\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}+\frac{2 c}{a}

If α, β are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 + kx = 12, such that α – β = 1, find the value of k.
Sol :The given quadratic polynomial is x2 + kx = 12 and \alpha{-} \beta = 1
If we rearrange the polynomial then we get
p(x) = x2 + kx – 12
We have,
\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a} and \alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}
So, \alpha+\beta=\frac{-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}=\frac{-\mathrm{k}}{1}=-\mathrm{k} …(1)
\alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{-12}{1}=-12 …(2)
Now, if we recall the identities
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
Using the identity, we get
(α + β)2 = α2 + β2 + 2 αβ
( – k)2 = α2 + β2 + 2( – 12)
⇒ α2 + β2 = k2 + 24 …(3)
Again, using the identity
(a – b)2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab
Using the identity, we get
(α – β)2 = α2 + β2 – 2 αβ
(1)2 = α2 + β2 – 2( – 12) {∵ (α – β) = 1}
⇒ α2 + β2 = 1 – 24
⇒ α2 + β2 = – 23 …(4)
From eqn (3) and (4), we get
k2 + 24 = – 23
⇒ k2 = – 23 – 24
⇒ k2 = – 47
Now the square can never be negative, so the value of k is imaginary.
Question 7
If the sum of squares of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial x2 – 8x + k is 40, find k.
Sol :Given : p(x) = x2 – 8x + k
α2 + β2 = 40
We have,
\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}
and \alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}
So, \alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-(-8)}{1}=8 …(1)
\alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{k}{1}=k …(2)
Now, if we recall the identities
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
Using the identity, we get
(α + β)2 = α2 + β2 + 2 αβ
(8)2 = 40+ 2(k)

\Rightarrow \alpha \times \frac{1}{\alpha}=\frac{6 \alpha}{\alpha^{2}+9}
⇒ α2 – 6α + 9 = 0
⇒ α2 – 3α – 3α + 9 = 0
⇒ α(α – 3) – 3(α – 3) = 0
⇒(α – 3)(α – 3) = 0
⇒(α – 3) = 0 & (α – 3) = 0

α = 3 + √7, β = 3 – √7
Then, α + β = 3 + √7 + 3 – √7 = 6
αβ = (3 + √(7)) × (3 – √7) = 9 – 7 = 2
Sum of zeroes = α + β = 6
Product of zeroes = αβ = 2
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – (6)x + 2
= x2 – 6x + 2
Question 10 D
Find quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are :
1+2 \sqrt{3}, 1-2 \sqrt{3}Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be
α = 1 + 2√3, β = 1 – 2√3
Then, α + β = 1 + 2√3 + 1 – 2√3 = 2
αβ = (1 + 2√3) × (1 – 2√3) = 1 – 12 = – 11
Sum of zeroes = α + β = 2
Product of zeroes = αβ = – 11
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – (2)x + ( – 11)
= x2 – 2x – 11
Question 10 E
Find quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are :
\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{3}, \frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{3}Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be
\alpha=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{3}, \beta=\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{3}
Then, \alpha+\beta=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{3}+\frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}+2+\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{4}{3}
\alpha \beta=\frac{2-\sqrt{3}}{3} \times \frac{2+\sqrt{3}}{3}=\frac{(2-\sqrt{3})(2+\sqrt{3})}{9}=\frac{4-3}{9}=\frac{1}{9}
Sum of zeroes =\alpha+\beta=\frac{4}{3}
Product of zeroes =\alpha \beta=\frac{1}{9}
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= X^{2}-\left(\frac{4}{3}\right) X+\left(\frac{1}{9}\right)
= X^{2}-\frac{4}{3} X+\frac{1}{9}
= \frac{9 x^{2}-12 x+1}{2}
We can consider 9x2 – 12x + 1 as required quadratic polynomial because it will also satisfy the given conditions.
Question 10 F
Find quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are :
\sqrt{2}, 2 \sqrt{2}Sol :
Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be
α = √2, β = 2√2
Then, α + β = √2 + 2√2 = √2 (1 + 2) = 3√2
αβ = √2× 2√2 = 4
Sum of zeroes = α + β = 3√2
Product of zeroes = αβ = 4
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – (3√2)x + 4
= x2 – 3√2 x + 4
Question 11
Find the quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are square of the zeroes of the polynomial x2 – x – 1.
Sol :Let the zeroes of the polynomial x2 – x – 1 be α and β
We have,
\alpha+\beta=\frac{-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}
and \alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}
So,
\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}=-\frac{-1}{1}=1
\alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{-1}{1}=-1
Now, according to the given condition,
α2 β2 = ( – 1)2 = 1
& (α + β)2 = α2 + β2 + 2 α β



So, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – (3)x + 1
= x2 – 3x + 1
Question 12 A
If α and β be the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + 10x + 30, then find the quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are α + 2β and 2α + β.
Sol :Given : p(x) = x2 + 10x + 30
So, Sum of zeroes =\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-10}{1}=-10 …(1)
Product of zeroes =\alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{30}{1}=30 …(2)
Now,
Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be
α^' = α + 2β , β' = 2α + β
Then, α’ + β’ = α + 2β + 2α + β = 3α + 3β = 3(α + β)
α'β’ = (α + 2β) ×(2α + β) = 2α2 + 2β2 + 5αβ
Sum of zeroes = 3(α + β)
Product of zeroes = 2α2 + 2β2 + 5αβ
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – (3(α + β))x + 2α2 + 2β2 + 5αβ
= x2 – 3( – 10)x + 2 (α2 + β2) + 5(30) {from eqn (1) & (2)}
= x2 + 30x + 2(α2 + β2 + 2αβ – 2αβ) + 150
= x2 + 30x + 2 (α + β)2 – 4αβ + 150
= x2 + 30x + 2( – 10)2 – 4(30) + 150
= x2 + 30x + 200 – 120 + 150
= x2 + 30x + 230
So, the required quadratic polynomial is x2 + 30x + 230
Question 12 B
If α and β be the zeroes of the polynomial x2 + 4x + 3, find the quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 1+\frac{\alpha}{\beta} and 1+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}.
Sol :Given : p(x) = x2 + 4x + 3
So, Sum of zeroes =\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a}=\frac{-4}{1}=-4 …(1)
Product of zeroes =\alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{3}{1}=3 …(2)
Now,
Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be
\alpha^{\prime}=1+\frac{\alpha}{\beta}, \beta^{\prime}=1+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}
Then,
\alpha^{\prime}+\beta^{\prime}=1+\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+1+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}
=\frac{2 \alpha \beta+\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}}{\alpha \beta}=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta}
\alpha^{\prime} \beta^{\prime}=\left(1+\frac{\alpha}{\beta}\right) \times\left(1+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}\right)
=1+\frac{\beta}{\alpha}+\frac{\alpha}{\beta}+1=\frac{2 \alpha \beta+\alpha^{2}+\beta^{2}}{\alpha \beta}
=\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta}
Sum of zeroes =\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta}
Product of zeroes =\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta}
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
=\mathrm{x}^{2}-\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta} \mathrm{x}+\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta}
=x^{2}-\frac{(4)^{2}}{3} x+\frac{(4)^{2}}{3} {from eqn (1) & (2)}
=x^{2}-\frac{16}{3} x+\frac{16}{3}
=\frac{3 x^{2}-16 x+16}{3}
So, the required quadratic polynomial is 3x2 – 16x + 16
Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be
α = 1 , β = – 3
Then, α + β = 1 + ( – 3) = – 2
αβ = 1 × ( – 3) = – 3
Sum of zeroes = α + β = – 2
Product of zeroes = αβ = – 3
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – ( – 2)x + ( – 3)
= x2 + 2x – 3
Verification
Sum of zeroes = α + β = 1 + ( – 3) = – 2 or
=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}=-\frac{(2)}{1}=-2
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
=\mathrm{x}^{2}-\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta} \mathrm{x}+\frac{(\alpha+\beta)^{2}}{\alpha \beta}
=x^{2}-\frac{(4)^{2}}{3} x+\frac{(4)^{2}}{3} {from eqn (1) & (2)}
=x^{2}-\frac{16}{3} x+\frac{16}{3}
=\frac{3 x^{2}-16 x+16}{3}
So, the required quadratic polynomial is 3x2 – 16x + 16
Question 13 A
Find a quadratic polynomial whose zeroes are 1 and – 3. Verify the relation between the coefficients and zeroes of the polynomial.
Sol :Let the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial be
α = 1 , β = – 3
Then, α + β = 1 + ( – 3) = – 2
αβ = 1 × ( – 3) = – 3
Sum of zeroes = α + β = – 2
Product of zeroes = αβ = – 3
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – ( – 2)x + ( – 3)
= x2 + 2x – 3
Verification
Sum of zeroes = α + β = 1 + ( – 3) = – 2 or
=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}=-\frac{(2)}{1}=-2
Product of zeroes = αβ = (1)( – 3) = – 3 or
=\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}=\frac{-3}{1}=-3
=\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } \mathrm{x}^{2}}=\frac{-3}{1}=-3
So, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is verified.
Question 13 B
Find the quadratic polynomial sum of whose zeroes in 8 and their product is 12. Hence find the zeroes of the polynomial.
Sol :Given: Sum of zeroes = α + β = 8
Product of zeroes = αβ = 12
Then, the quadratic polynomial
= x2 – (sum of zeroes)x + product of zeroes
= x2 – (8)x + 12
= x2 – 8x + 12
Now, we have
\alpha+\beta=\frac{-b}{a} and \alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}
So,
\alpha+\beta=\frac{-\mathrm{b}}{\mathrm{a}}=-\frac{-8}{1}=8
\alpha \beta=\frac{c}{a}=\frac{12}{1}=12
