The correct Answer is:
To find a quadratic polynomial whose sum and product of the zeroes are given, we can use the following steps: ### Step 1: Identify the sum and product of the zeroes The sum of the zeroes \( \alpha + \beta \) is given as: \[ \alpha + \beta = -\frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} \] The product of the zeroes \( \alpha \beta \) is given as: \[ \alpha \beta = -\frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 2: Write the general form of the quadratic polynomial The general form of a quadratic polynomial based on the sum and product of its roots is: \[ p(x) = x^2 - (\text{sum of zeroes}) \cdot x + (\text{product of zeroes}) \] Substituting the values we have: \[ p(x) = x^2 - \left(-\frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}}\right) x + \left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) \] ### Step 3: Simplify the polynomial This simplifies to: \[ p(x) = x^2 + \frac{3}{2\sqrt{5}} x - \frac{1}{2} \] ### Step 4: Eliminate the fraction by multiplying through by \( 2\sqrt{5} \) To eliminate the fractions, we can multiply the entire polynomial by \( 2\sqrt{5} \): \[ p(x) = 2\sqrt{5} \cdot x^2 + 3x - \sqrt{5} \] ### Step 5: Factor the polynomial Now we need to factor the polynomial \( 2\sqrt{5} x^2 + 3x - \sqrt{5} \). We can use the method of splitting the middle term. 1. We need two numbers that multiply to \( 2\sqrt{5} \cdot (-\sqrt{5}) = -10 \) and add to \( 3 \). 2. The numbers \( 5 \) and \( -2 \) work since \( 5 \cdot (-2) = -10 \) and \( 5 + (-2) = 3 \). Now we can rewrite the middle term: \[ p(x) = 2\sqrt{5} x^2 + 5x - 2x - \sqrt{5} \] ### Step 6: Group the terms Grouping the terms gives us: \[ = (2\sqrt{5} x^2 + 5x) + (-2x - \sqrt{5}) \] Factoring out common terms: \[ = x(2\sqrt{5} x + 5) - \sqrt{5}(2x + 1) \] ### Step 7: Factor by grouping Now we can factor by grouping: \[ = (2\sqrt{5} x + 5)(x - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}) \] ### Step 8: Find the zeroes To find the zeroes, we set each factor to zero: 1. \( 2\sqrt{5} x + 5 = 0 \) \[ 2\sqrt{5} x = -5 \implies x = -\frac{5}{2\sqrt{5}} = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} \] 2. \( x - \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} = 0 \) \[ x = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} \] ### Final Result The zeroes of the polynomial are: \[ x = -\frac{\sqrt{5}}{2}, \quad x = \frac{\sqrt{5}}{2} \]
