Find the quadratic polynomial, the sum of whose zeros is and their product is 1. Hence, find the zeros of the polynomial.
Let the zero of the polynomial be α and β
According to the question:
αβ = 1
∴f(x)= x2 – (α + β)x + (αβ)
∴ required polynomial f(x)
Put f(x) = 0
x2 –(5/2)x + 1= 0
2x2 – 5x + 2 = 0
2x2 – 4x – x + 2 = 0
2x(x – 2) – 1(x - 2) =0
(x - 2)(2x - 1) = 0
x = 2 or x = 1/2
