Case based 4: The pictures are few natural examples of parabolic shape which is represented by a quadratic polynomial. A parabolic arch is an arch in the shape of a parabola. In structures,their curve represents an efficient method of carrying load and so can be found in bridges and in architecture in a variety of forms.(Class 10 Case based problem of Chapter 2 Polynomials 3)
(A) In the standard form of quadratic polynomial, ax² + bx + c, a, b and c are :
(a) All are real numbers.
(b) All are rational numbers.
(c) ‘a’ is a non-zero real number and, b and c are any real numbers.
(d) All are integers.
(B) If the root of quadratic polynomialare equal, where the discrimnant D = b² – 4ac, then:
(a) D > 0 (b) D < 0
(c) D ≥ 0 (d) D = 0
(C) If α and 1/α are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 2x² – x + 8k, then k is:
(a) 4 (b) 1/4
(c) -1/4 (d) 2
(D) The graph of x² + 1 = 0:
(a) Intersects x-axis at two distinct points
(b) Touches x – axis at a point.
(c) Neither touches nor intersects x – axis
(d) Either touches or intersects x- axis.
(E) If the sum of the roots is -p and product of the roots is -1/p, then then the quadratic polynomial is
(a) k(-px² + x/p + 1)
(b) k(px² – x/p – 1)
(c) k(x² + px – 1/p)
(d) k(x² – px + 1/p)
Solution:
(A) Answer (c) ‘a’ is non-zero real number and b and c are any real numbers.
Explatnation: The standard form of the quadratic polynomial is ax² + bx + c, where a, b, c are real numbers and a ≠ 0
(B) Answer (d) D = 0
(C) Answer(b) k = 1/4
Explanation: 2x² – x + 8k
Roots of polynomial = α, 1/α
Product of the roots = Constant term/ Coefficient of x²
⇒ α× 1/α = 8k/2
⇒ k = 1/4
(D) Answer (c) Neither touches nor intersects x – axis,
Explanation: x² + 1 = 0
⇒ x² = -1
It has no real roots
Hence the graph of equation never touches and intersect the x- axis
(E) Answer (c) k(x² + px – 1/p)
Explanation: sum of the roots = -p
product of the roots = -1/p
Quadratic equation
= k[x² – (Sum of the roots) x + (Productof the roots)]
= k[x² – (-p)x +(-1/p) ]
= k[x² + px -1/p]
Case Based 5:
Government of India allotted some funds to the National Disaster Relief Fund to help the families of flood affected village. The fund alloted is represented by . The fund is equally divided between each of the families of that village. Each family received an amount of . After distribution, the amount left was . Which was used to construct a primary health centre in each village.

(C) If the sum of squares of zeroes of the polynomial is 40, the value of k is
(a) 2 (b) 4
(c) 8 (d) 12
(D) The zeroes of the quadratic polynomial are:
(a) -a, -1/a (b) a, 1/a
(c) -1, a (d) 1, -a
(E) If one of the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial is 2, then the value of a is:
(a) 10 (b) -10
(c) -7 (d) -2
Solution:
(A) Answer (a)
Explanation: Given
Product of the zeroes =
(B) Answer (c) -5/2
Explanation:Given
Since,
Given that, α² + β² + αβ = 21/4
add an substract αβ
α² + β² + αβ + αβ- αβ = 21/4
⇒α² + β² + 2αβ – αβ = 21/4
⇒(α + β)²-αβ = 21/4
(C) Answer (d) 12
Explanation: Let zeroes of the equation are α and β
Then, α + β = -b/a = -(8)/1 =8
α.β = c/a = k/1 = k
Given that
(D) Answer (b) a, 1/a
Explanation: given that
Hence, zeroes are = a, 1/a
(E)Answer (b) -10
Let zeroes of the equation are α and β
Given
and
