19. Case Study-1 : Lusitania Bridge
Quadratic polynomial can be used to model the shape of many architectural structures in the world.
The Lusitania Bridge is a bridge in Merida, Spain. The bridge was built over the Guadiana River
in 1991 by a Spanish consortium to take the road traffic from the Romano bridge. The architect
was Santiago Calatrava. The bridge takes its name from the fact that Emerita Augusta (present day
Merida) was the former capital of Lusitania, an ancient Roman province.
 Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i) If the Arch is represented by 10x2 – x – 3, then find its zeroes. (2)
(ii) Find the quadratic polynomial whose sum of zeroes is 0 and product of zeroes is 1. (2)
