POLYNOMIALS
1. Find the zeros of each of the following quadratic polynomials and verify the relationship
between the zeros and their coefficients:
i. f(x) = x2 – 2x – 8
ii. h(t) = t2 – 15
v. g(x) = a(x2+1)–x(a2+1)
α2β+αβ2.
6. Find a cubic polynomial with the sum, sum of the product of its zeroes taken two at a time,
and product of its zeros as 3, -1 and -3 respectively?
7. Find all the zeroes of the polynomial x4 + x3 – 34x2 – 4x + 120, if the two of its zeros are 2
and -2?
8. If the sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial f(t)=kt2 + 2t + 3k is equal to their
product, then find the value of k?
