Math Problem Statement
a quadratic polynomial , the sum of of whose zeroes is 0 and one zero is 3 is
Solution
The general form of a quadratic polynomial is:
According to Vieta's formulas:
- The sum of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial is given by .
- The product of the zeroes is .
Given that:
- The sum of the zeroes is 0.
- One of the zeroes is 3.
Let's call the other zero . Based on the first condition:
So, .
Thus, the two zeroes are 3 and .
Now, the quadratic polynomial can be written as:
Simplifying this:
Since no specific value for is given, the polynomial could be , where is any constant.
If we assume , the polynomial becomes:
