MATHEMATICS CLASS 10TH EXERCISE 2.2 SOLUTION
1. Find a quadratic polynomial each with the given numbers as the sum and product of zeroes respectively
-
x2 – 2x – 8
x2 – 2x – 8
= x2 – 4x + 2x – 8
= x(x – 4) + 2(x – 4)
= (x + 2)(x – 4)
Now, x + 2 = 0
⇒ x = -2;
x – 4 = 0
⇒ x = 4
So, zeroes are x = -2 and 4.
Verification:
α = -2, β = 4
α + β = -2 + 4 = 2 = -coefficient of x / coefficient of x2 = -(-2)/1 = 2 (verified)
αβ = (-2) × 4 = -8 = constant term/coefficient of x2 = -8/1 = -8 (verified) -
4s2 – 4s + 1
4s2 – 4s + 1
= 4s2 – 2s – 2s + 1
= 2s(2s – 1) – 1(2s – 1)
= (2s – 1)(2s – 1)
Now, 2s – 1 = 0
⇒ s = 1/2
So, zeroes are s = 1/2 and 1/2.
Verification:
α = 1/2, β = 1/2
α + β = 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 = -coefficient of s / coefficient of s2 = -(-4)/4 = 1 (verified)
αβ = (1/2) × (1/2) = 1/4 = constant term/coefficient of s2 = 1/4 (verified) -
6x2 – 7x – 3
6x2 – 7x – 3
= 6x2 – 9x + 2x – 3
= 3x(2x – 3) + 1(2x – 3)
= (3x + 1)(2x – 3)
Now, 3x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = -1/3
2x – 3 = 0
⇒ x = 3/2
So, zeroes are x = -1/3 and 3/2.
Verification:
α = -1/3, β = 3/2
α + β = -1/3 + 3/2 = 7/6 = -coefficient of x / coefficient of x2 = -(-7)/6 = 7/6 (verified)
αβ = (-1/3) × (3/2) = -1/2 = constant term/coefficient of x2 = -3/6 = -1/2 (verified) -
4u2 + 8u
4u2 + 8u
= 4u(u + 2)
Now 4u = 0
⇒ u = 0
u + 2 = 0
⇒ u = -2
So, zeroes are u = 0 and -2.
Verification:
α = 0, β = -2
α + β = 0 + (-2) = -2 = -coefficient of u / coefficient of u2 = -8/4 = -2 (verified)
αβ = 0 × (-2) = 0 = constant term/coefficient of u2 = 0/4 = 0 (verified) -
t2 – 15
t2 – 15
= (t – √15)(t + √15)
Now, t – √15 = 0
⇒ t = √15
t + √15 = 0
⇒ t = -√15
So, zeroes are t = √15 and -√15.
Verification:
α = √15, β = -√15
α + β = √15 + (-√15) = 0 = -coefficient of t / coefficient of t2 = 0/1 = 0 (verified)
αβ = (√15) × (-√15) = -15 = constant term/coefficient of t2 = -15/1 = -15 (verified) -
3x2 – x – 4
3x2 – x – 4
= 3x2 – 3x + 4x – 4
= 3x(x + 1) – 4(x + 1)
= (3x – 4)(x + 1)
Now, 3x – 4 = 0
⇒ x = 4/3
x + 1 = 0
⇒ x = -1
So, zeroes are x = 4/3 and -1.
Verification:
α = 4/3, β = -1
α + β = 4/3 + (-1) = 1/3 = -coefficient of x / coefficient of x2 = -(-1)/3 = 1/3 (verified)
αβ = (4/3) × (-1) = -4/3 = constant term/coefficient of x2 = -4/3 (verified)
