- 3 and 4 are the zeroes of the polynomial p(x) = ax² + bx + c

∴ sum of the zeroes = - (coefficient of x) ÷ coefficient of x²

- 3 + 4 = - b/a

1 = - b/a

b = - 1 and a = 1

Product of the zeroes = constant term ÷ coefficient of x²

c = (- 3)/4

⇒ c = 12

Putting the values of a, b and c in the polynomial p(x) = ax² + bx + c

∴ The polynomial is x² - x - 12

= x²/2 - x/2 - 6 (dividing by any constant will not change the polynomial)

OR

The equation of a quadratic polynomial is given by x² - (sum of the zeroes) x + (product of the zeroes) where,

Sum of the zeroes = - (coefficient of x) ÷ coefficient of x² and

Product of the zeroes = constant term ÷ coefficient of x²

∴ Sum of the zeroes = - 3 + 4 = 1

and

product of the zeroes = (- 3)4 = - 12

⇒ x² - (1)x = (- 12)

= x² - x - 12

= x²/2 - x/2 - 6

(dividing by any constant will not change the polynomial)
