Find a quadratic polynomial whose zeros are 5 + √2 and 5 − √2.

Answer»

Given zeroes, 5+√2 and 5-√2 

Sum of the zeroes = 5+√2 + 5-√2 

Sum of the zeroes = 10

Product of zeroes = (5+√2)(5-√2) 

Product of zeroes = 25 - 2 = 23 

We know that quadratic polynomial is in the form of, =k{x2-(sum of zeroes)x+product of zeroes} 

By putting required values we get, = k{x2 - 10x + 23}

= x2 - 10x + 23 

Hence x2 - 10x + 23 is the required polynomial.
