(d)

Explanation:

The shape of a quadratic polynomial is either upward or downward U - shaped curve i.e., an upward or downward parabola.
Also, the graph of the quadratic equation cuts the X - axis at the most at two points, but in fig it cuts the X - axis at three points.
∴ fig is not the graph of a quadratic polynomial.

4.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation:
b
Reason is true as we know that Sum of zeroes = - a
c
Also, we know that Product of zeroes = a
5k
⇒
1
= -10 ⇒ k = -2
So, the Assertion is true. But Reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.

Section B
5. By splitting the middle term
5t2 + 12t + 7 = 0
5t2 + (5t + 7t) + 7 = 0
5t2 + 5t + 7t + 7 = 0
5t (t + 1) + 7(t + 1) = 0
(t + 1)(5t + 7) = 0
(t + 1)(5t + 7) = 0
⇒ t = - 1, - 7/5

Verification:

1/3
 Sum of the zeroes = - (coefficient of x) / coefficient of x2
α + β = - b/a

(- 1) + (- 7/5) = - (12)/5
= - 12/5 = - 12/5
Product of the zeroes = constant term / coefficient of x2
αβ = c/a

(- 1)(- 7/5) = 7/5

7/5 = 7/5

and, αβ = −1 = a

It a = 3, then b = -1 and c = -3
So, one quadratic polynomial which fits the given conditions is 3x2 - x - 3.

Here it's given that α + β = and αβ = −1 1

Let the quadratic polynomial be ax2 + bx + c and it zeroes are α and β

α + β = = − and αβ = −1 =

b c

Here let b = -k and a = 3k, c = -3 where, k non zero constant.

now, 3kx − kx − 3k = k (3x − x − 3)

So quadratic polynomial which fits the given condition is 3x2 - x - 3

–
= s(2s − 1) − √2(2s − 1)
–

Let α and β be the zeroes of given polynomial
Here, α + β = -p and αβ = 45
(α - β )2 = 144
⇒ (α + β )2 - 4αβ = 144
⇒ (-p)2 - 4 × 45 = 144
⇒ p = ±18
