Biquadratic polynomial = =
6. Let and be the zeros of the required polynomial.

Then, ( + ) = -5 and =6
f(x) = x2- ( + )x + = x2 - (-5 )x + 6
= x2 + 5x + 6.
Hence, the required polynomial is f(x) = x2 + 5x + 6.
7. Here sum of zeroes,

Product of zeroes,
Quadratic polynomial

8. We have, α and β are the roots of the quadratic polynomial. f(x) =x2 - 5x + 4
Sum of zeros:
product of zeros:
We have a=1,b=-5 and c= 4.
Sum of the roots = α + β = 5

Then,
10. It is given that:
p(x) = x2 - px - p - c
Here a = 1, b = - p and c = -p - c
and
-p-c+p+1=0
c=1
11.
If the polynomial 2x3 + 9x2 - x - b is divisible by 2x + 3, then the remainder must be

zero.
So, 15 - b = 0, b = 15
12. Polynomial is x2 - (k + 6)x + 2(2k - 1).
and
Now,
k+6= (4k - 2)
k+6 = 2k -1
k=7
13. Compare f(x) = 5x2 - 7x + 1 with ax2 + bx + c we get,
a = 5, b = - 7 and c= 1
Since and are the zeros of 5x2 - 7x + 1, we have
=7
14. Here it is given that the zeros of f(x)= 3x2-4x+1 are

Here a=3, b=-4 and c=1
Let S and P denote respectively the sum and product of the zeros of the polynomial
whose zeroes are , then
S= = = ........(1)
and, P = ................(2)
Hence the polynomial with zeros is
g(x)=x2-Px+S=0
putting values of P and S from (1) and (2) we get the polynomial
15. The given polynomial is:
f(x) = 2x3 - x2 - 4x + 2.
It is given that the two zeroes of the above polynomial are and -
Therefore, (x - )(x + ) = (x2 - 2) is a factor of f(x).
Now we divide (x) = 2x3 - x2 - 4x + 2 by (x2- 2), we obtain

Where quotient = (2x - 1)
f(x) = 0 (x2 - 2)(2x - 1) = 0

(x - ) (x + )(2x - 1) = 0
(x - ) = 0 or (x + ) = 0 or (2 x -1) = 0
x= or x = - or x = .
Hence, all zeros of f(x) are ,- and .
16. p(x) = 5x2 + 8x - 4 = 0
= 5x2 + 10x - 2x - 4 = 0
= 5x(x + 2) - 2(x + 2) = 0
= (x + 2)(5x - 2) = 0
Hence, zeroes are -2 and

Also, .......... (iv)
From (iii) and (iv)
Product of zeroes =
18. As 2 ± are the zeroes of p(x), so x - (2 ± ) are the factors of p(x) and the product
of factors,
= x2 - 4x + 1
Dividing p(x) by x2 - 4x + 1
Factorising (x2 - 2x - 35) we get

= (x + 5)(x - 7)
x = -5, 7
Hence, other two zeroes of p(x) are - 5 and 7.
19.
On factorising the quotient, we get
Therefore, all the zeroes are .
20.
Given, remainder = x + a
On comparing the multiples of x
(2k - 9)x = 1
or, 2k - 9 = 1 or k = =5
On putting this value of k into other portion of remainder, we get
and a = 10 - 8k + k2 = 10 - 40 + 25 = -5

15. The given polynomial is:

Therefore, (x - )(x + ) = (x2 - 2) is a factor of f(x).

Now we divide (x) = 2x3 - x2 - 4x + 2 by (x2- 2), we obtain

f(x) = 0 (x2 - 2)(2x - 1) = 0
