Let the zeroes of the given polynomial ax2 + bx +b be m \(\alpha\) and n \(\alpha\)
\(\therefore\) Sum of zeroes
m\(\alpha\)+n\(\alpha\) = \( -\frac{Coefficient of x}{Coefficient of x^{2}}\) = \( -\frac{b }{a }\)
and product of zeroes,
m \(\alpha\)x n\(\alpha\) = \( \frac{Coefficient of x}{Coefficient of x^{2}}\) = \( -\frac{b }{a}\)
\(-\sqrt{\frac{b}{a } }\)

On dividing f(x) by 3x2-5, we get
Quotient=x2-3x+2 and remainder =k+10.
Since, f(x) is exactly divisible by 3x2-5, so remainder =0.
⇒ k+10=0⇒ k-10
Now, for other zeroes, put x2-3x+2=0
⇒ (x2)(x1)=0⇒x=1,2

Let f(x) = x2 - 15
\(\Rightarrow f(x)=(x-\sqrt{15})(x+\sqrt{15}) \quad\left[\because a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\right]\)
On putting f(x) = 0, we get
\(\begin{aligned}
& (x-\sqrt{15})(x+\sqrt{15})=0 \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow x-\sqrt{15}=0 \text { or } x+\sqrt{15}=0 \\
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow \quad x=\sqrt{15} \text { or } x=-\sqrt{15}
\end{aligned}\)
Thus, the zeros of given polynomial are \(\alpha=\sqrt{15}\) and \(\beta=-\sqrt{15}\)
Verification
Here, the sum of zeroes, \(\alpha+\beta=\sqrt{15}-\sqrt{15}=0\)
\(=-\frac{0}{1}=-\frac{\text { Coefficient of } x}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}\)
and product of zeroes,
\(\begin{aligned}
\alpha \beta=\sqrt{15} \times(-\sqrt{15}) & =-15=\frac{-15}{1}
\end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
& =\frac{\text { Constant term }}{\text { Coefficient of } x^2}
\end{aligned}\)
So, the relationship between the zeroes and the coefficients is verified.

(d) We know that, for any quadratic polynomial ax2 +bx +c, \(a \neq 0\), the graph of the corresponding equation y = {[x2 +bx + c has one of the two shapes ei ther open upwards like or open downwards like
depending on whether a> 0 or a < 0. So, option (d) cannot be possible. Also, the curve of a quadratic polynomial crosses the X-axis atrnost two points, but in option (d) the curve crosses the X-axis at three points, so it does not represent the quadratic polynomial.

We have, \(q(x)=\sqrt { 3x^{ 2 } } +10x+7\sqrt { 3 } \)
On splitting the middle term, i.e.10x into two parts, we get
\(q(x)=\sqrt { 3x^{ 2 } } +3x+7+7\sqrt { 3 } \)
\(=\sqrt { 3x } (x+\sqrt { 3 } )+7(x+\sqrt { 3 } )\)
\(=(x+\sqrt { 3 } )\sqrt { 3x } +7)\)
For the zeroes of q(x), put q(x)=0
\(\therefore \quad (x+\sqrt { 3 } )\sqrt { 3x } +7)=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x+\sqrt { 3 } =0\) and \(\sqrt { 3x } +7=0\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x=-\sqrt { 3 } \) and \(x=\frac { -7 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)
Hence, the zeroes of q(x) are \(\alpha =-\sqrt { 3 } \) and \(\beta =\frac { -7 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)
Verification
Here, \(\alpha +\beta =-\sqrt { 3 } +\left( \frac { -7 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \right) =\frac { -3-7 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =-\frac { 10 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)
\(=-\frac { Coefficient\quad of\quad x }{ Coefficient\quad of\quad x^{ 2 } } \)
and \(\alpha \beta =-\sqrt { 3 } \times \left( \frac { -7 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \right) =\frac { 7\sqrt { 3 } }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =-\frac { Constant \ term }{ Coefficient \ of \ x^{ 2 } } \)
Hence, the relations between the zeroes and the coefficients of the polynomial is verified.

37.
(i) (c) :Since the graph intersect the x-axis at 3 points, therefore the polynomial has 3 zeroes.
(ii) (d): Clearly the graph intersect the x-axis at x = -4, x = -2 and x = 1, therefore the zeroes are -4, -2 and 1. Now, the sum of zeroes = -4 - 2 + 1 = -5
(iii) (b): From the graph, it can be seen that When x = 0, then y = -8.
(iv) (b): Since there are 3 zeroes, therefore the graph represents a cubic polynomial.
(v) (a): The sum of product of zeroes taken two at a time = (-4)(-2) + (-2)(1) + (1)(-4) = 8 - 2 - 4 = 2
38.
(i) (b): Since, the graph of the polynomial intersect the x-axis at x = 1, 3 therefore required zeroes of the polynomial are 1 and 3.
(ii) (c)
(iii) (c): Let \(f(x)=-x^{2}+4 x-3\)
then \(f(4) =-4^{2}+4 \times 4-3 \)
\(=-16+16-3=-3\)
(iv) (a): Clearly, other zero \(=\frac{-35}{7}=-5\)
Thus, the zeroes are 7 and -5. From the options, 7 and -5 satisfies only \(-x^{2}+2 x+35\)
\(\text { So, } p(x)=-x^{2}+2 x+35\)
(v) (b): Let \(p(x)=-x^{2}+5 x-6\)
For zeroes, consider p(x) = 0
\(\begin{array}{l}
\Rightarrow \quad-x^{2}+5 x-6=0 \Rightarrow x^{2}-5 x+6=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad x^{2}-3 x-2 x+6=0 \\
\Rightarrow \quad(x-3)(x-2)=0 \Rightarrow x=3,2
\end{array}\)
Thus, the required zeroes are 3 and 2.
