Polynomials

The document contains 20 problems involving finding properties of quadratic polynomials given information about their zeros. Some examples are finding the value of k given certain properties of the zeros of the polynomial kx^2 + x + 6, or finding another polynomial whose zeros are a transformation of the zeros of a given polynomial, such as their sum or difference.
