Find a quadratic polynomial with the given numbers as the sum and product of zeroes respectively. $0,\ \sqrt{5}$


Given: The sum and product of zeroes of quadratic polynomial is: $0,\ \sqrt{5}$ respectively.

To do: To find the quadratic polynomial.

Solution:

Let $\alpha$ and $\beta$ be the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial.

Sum of the zeroes of quadratic polynomial$=\alpha+\beta=0$

Product of the quadratic polynomial$=\alpha\beta=\sqrt{5}$

The quadratic polynomial is:

$x^{2}-(\alpha +\beta )+\alpha\beta=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}-0x+\sqrt{5}=0$

$\Rightarrow x^{2}+\sqrt{5}=0$

The required quadratic polynomial is $x^2+\sqrt{5}$.
