The correct Answer is:
To find a quadratic polynomial whose zeros have a given sum and product, we can use the standard form of a quadratic polynomial, which is: \[ P(x) = x^2 - (sum \ of \ zeros) \cdot x + (product \ of \ zeros) \] ### Step 1: Identify the sum and product of the zeros We are given: - Sum of the zeros \( S = -2\sqrt{3} \) - Product of the zeros \( P = -9 \) ### Step 2: Write the quadratic polynomial Using the formula mentioned above, we can substitute the values of the sum and product into the polynomial: \[ P(x) = x^2 - (-2\sqrt{3}) \cdot x + (-9) \] This simplifies to: \[ P(x) = x^2 + 2\sqrt{3}x - 9 \] ### Step 3: Factor the polynomial Now, we need to factor the polynomial \( P(x) = x^2 + 2\sqrt{3}x - 9 \). To factor, we look for two numbers that multiply to \( -9 \) (the product) and add to \( 2\sqrt{3} \) (the sum). Let's rewrite the middle term \( 2\sqrt{3}x \) as \( 3\sqrt{3}x - \sqrt{3}x \): \[ P(x) = x^2 + 3\sqrt{3}x - \sqrt{3}x - 9 \] Now, we can group the terms: \[ P(x) = (x^2 + 3\sqrt{3}x) + (-\sqrt{3}x - 9) \] Factoring out common terms from each group: \[ P(x) = x(x + 3\sqrt{3}) - \sqrt{3}(x + 3) \] Now we can factor by grouping: \[ P(x) = (x + 3\sqrt{3})(x - \sqrt{3}) \] ### Step 4: Find the zeros of the polynomial To find the zeros, we set each factor equal to zero: 1. \( x + 3\sqrt{3} = 0 \) - \( x = -3\sqrt{3} \) 2. \( x - \sqrt{3} = 0 \) - \( x = \sqrt{3} \) Thus, the zeros of the polynomial are: - \( x = -3\sqrt{3} \) - \( x = \sqrt{3} \) ### Summary The quadratic polynomial is: \[ P(x) = x^2 + 2\sqrt{3}x - 9 \] And the zeros of this polynomial are: - \( x = -3\sqrt{3} \) - \( x = \sqrt{3} \)
