Let f(x) be a quadratic polynomial satisfying f(2) + f(4) = 0. If unity is one root of f(x) = 0 then find the other root. |
Answer» From the given information, ` f(x) = (x-1) (ax+b)` So, `" " f(2) = 2a + b` and " " `f(4) = 3(4a + b) = 12a + 3b` Given that `f(2) + f(4) = 0` `rArr " " 14a + 4b = 0` `rArr " " b = - (7a)/(2)` `therefore" " Equation is (x-1)(ax-(7a)/(2))=0` Therefore, other root is `7//2` |
