The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find a quadratic polynomial whose zeros are \(2\alpha\) and \(2\beta\), given that \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are the zeros of the polynomial \(6x^2 - 7x - 3\). ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients of the given polynomial The given polynomial is \(6x^2 - 7x - 3\). Here, we can identify: - \(a = 6\) - \(b = -7\) - \(c = -3\) ### Step 2: Calculate the sum and product of the roots \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) Using the formulas for the sum and product of the roots of a quadratic polynomial: - The sum of the roots \(\alpha + \beta = -\frac{b}{a} = -\frac{-7}{6} = \frac{7}{6}\) - The product of the roots \(\alpha \beta = \frac{c}{a} = \frac{-3}{6} = -\frac{1}{2}\) ### Step 3: Find the sum and product of the new roots \(2\alpha\) and \(2\beta\) Now, we need to find the sum and product of the new roots \(2\alpha\) and \(2\beta\): - The sum of the new roots \(2\alpha + 2\beta = 2(\alpha + \beta) = 2 \times \frac{7}{6} = \frac{14}{6} = \frac{7}{3}\) - The product of the new roots \(2\alpha \cdot 2\beta = 4(\alpha \beta) = 4 \times -\frac{1}{2} = -2\) ### Step 4: Form the new quadratic polynomial Using the sum and product of the new roots, we can form the quadratic polynomial: \[ x^2 - \text{(sum of roots)} \cdot x + \text{(product of roots)} = 0 \] Substituting the values we found: \[ x^2 - \frac{7}{3}x - 2 = 0 \] ### Step 5: Eliminate the fraction by multiplying through by 3 To eliminate the fraction, multiply the entire equation by 3: \[ 3x^2 - 7x - 6 = 0 \] Thus, the quadratic polynomial whose zeros are \(2\alpha\) and \(2\beta\) is: \[ \boxed{3x^2 - 7x - 6} \]
