The sum of the zero and the product of zero of a quadratic polynomial are

Question:

The sum of the zero and the product of zero of a quadratic polynomial are $\frac{-1}{2}$ and $-3$ respectively, write the polynomial.

 

Solution:

We can find the quadratic polynomial if we know the sum of the roots and product of the roots by using the formula

$x^{2}-$ (Sum of the zeros) $x+$ Product of zeros

$\Rightarrow x^{2}-\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) x+(-3)$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} x-3$

Hence, the required polynomial is $x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} x-3$.
