Question:

If α and ß are the zeros of the given polynomial

x² - 3x + k , such that α - ß = 1 , then find the value of k .

Answer:

k = 2

Note:

• A polynomial of degree 2 is called quadratic polynomial.

• The general form of a quadratic polynomial is given by ; ax² + bx + c = 0 .

• The possible values of variable ( or unknown ) for which the polynomial becomes zero are known as its zeros.

• If α and ß are the zeros of the quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c , then ;

Sum of zeros , (α + ß) = -b/a

Product of zeros , α•ß = c/a

• If α and ß are the zeros of any quadratic polynomial then that polynomial is given as ;

x² - (α + ß)x + α•ß .

Solution:

Here ,

The given quadratic polynomial is ; x² - 3x + k

Clearly , we have ;

a = 1

b = -3

c = k

Now,

The sum of the zeros of the given quadratic polynomial is ;

=> α + ß = -b/a

=> α + ß = -(-3)/1

=> α + ß = 3 ------(1)

Also,

The product of zeros of the given quadratic polynomial is ;

=> α•ß = c/a

=> α•ß = k/1

=> α•ß = k -------(2)

Also,

It is given that ,

α - ß = 1 ------(3)

Now,

We know that ; (x + y)² - (x - y)² = 4xy

Thus,

=> (α + ß)² - (α - ß)² = 4αß

=> 3² - 1² = 4k

=> 4k = 3² - 1²

=> 4k = 9 - 1

=> 4k = 8

=> k = 8/4

=> k = 2

Hence,

The required value of k is 2 .
