Short Answer Type Questions – I

[2 marks]
Que 1. If one of the zeros of the quadratic polynomial f(x) = 4x2 – 8kx – 9 is equal in
magnitude but opposite in sign of the other, find the value of k.
Sol. Let one root of the given polynomial be a.
Then the other root = -a
∴ Sum of the roots = (-a) + a = 0
−𝑏 8𝑘
⇒ = 0 𝑜𝑟 = 0 𝑜𝑟 𝑘 = 0
𝑎 4

Que 2. If one of the zeros of the quadratic polynomial (k – 1)x2 + kx + 1 is -3 then find the
value of k.
Sol. Since -3 is a zero of the given polynomial
∴ (k – 1) (-3)2 + k(-3) + 1 = 0
4
⇒ 9k – 9 - 3k + 1 = 0 ⇒ 𝑘 = 3

Que 3. If 1 is a zero of the polynomial p(x) = ax2 – 3(a- 1)x – 1, then find the value of a.
Sol. Put x = 1 in p(x)
∴ p (1) = a (1)2 – 3(a – 1) × 1 – 1 = 0
⇒ a – 3a + 3 – 1 = 0 ⇒ -2a = -2 ⇒ a=1
Que 4. If a and b are zeros of polynomial p(x) = x2 – 5x + 6, then find the value of a + b –
3ab.
Sol. Here, a + b = 5, ab = 6
∴ a + b – 3ab = 5 – 3 × 6 = -13
Que 5. Find the zeros of the polynomial p(x) = 4x2 – 12x + 9.
Sol. P(x) = 4x2 – 12x + 9 = (2x – 3)2
For zeros, p(x) = 0
3 3
⇒ (2x – 3)(2x – 3) = 0 ⇒ x = , .
2 2
Que 6. If one root of the polynomial p(y) = 5y2 + 13y + m is reciprocal of other, then find
the value of m.
1 1 𝑚 𝑚
Sol. Let the roots be a and 𝑎. Then 𝑎( ) = 𝑜𝑟 1 = 𝑜𝑟 𝑚 = 5
𝑎 5 5
𝟏 𝟏
Que 7. If a and b are zeros of p(x) = x2 + x – 1, then find + .
𝒂 𝒃
1 1 𝑏+𝑎 −1
Sol. Here, a + b = -1, ab = -1, so + = = = 1
𝑎 𝑏 𝑎𝑏 −1

Que 8. Given that one of the zeros of the cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + d is zero, find the
product of the other two zeros.
Sol. Let a, b, r, be the roots of the given polynomial and a = 0.
𝑐 𝑐
Then ab + br + ra = ⇒ 𝑏𝑟 =
𝑎 𝑎

Que 9. If the product of two zeros of the polynomial p(x) = 2x3 + 6x2 – 4x + 9 is 3, then find
its third zero.
Sol. Let a, b, r be the roots of the given polynomial and ab = 3
9 −9 −3
Then abr = − 2 ⇒ 3 × 𝑟 = 𝑜𝑟 𝑟 =
2 2

Que 10. Find a quadratic polynomial each with the given numbers as the sum and product
of its zeros respectively.
𝟏 𝟏 𝟏
(𝐢) − , (𝒊𝒊) √𝟐,
𝟒 𝟒 𝟑
Sol. Let a,b be the zeros of polynomial.
1 1
(i) we have, a + b = − and 𝑎𝑏 =
4 4

Thus, polynomial is
P(x) = x2 – (a + b) x + ab
1 1 1 1 1
= 𝑥 2 − (− ) 𝑥 + = 𝑥2 + 𝑥 + = (4𝑥 2 + 𝑥 + 1)
4 4 4 4 4

∴ Quadratic polynomial = 4x2 + x + 1


1
(ii) We have, a + b = √2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑎𝑏 =
3

Thus, polynomial is p(x) = x – (a + b) x + ab


2

1 1
= x2 – √2 𝑥 + = (3𝑥 2 – 3√2𝑥 + 1)
3 3

∴ Quadratic polynomial = 3x2 - 3𝑥 2 − 3√2𝑥 + 1
