FINDING MINIMUM DEGREE OF POLYNOMIAL WITH GIVEN ZEROS WORKSHEET

Problem 1 :

Find a polynomial equation of minimum degree with rational coefficients having 2+3i as a root.

Solution

Problem 2 :

Find a polynomial equation of minimum degree with rational coefficients having 2i+3 as a root.

Solution

Problem 3 :

Find a polynomial equation of minimum degree with rational coefficients having √5 - √3 as a root.

Solution

Problem 4 :

If k is real, discuss the nature of the roots of the polynomial equation 2x2 + kx + k = 0 in terms of k.

Solution

Problem 5 :

Prove that a straight line and parabola cannot intersect at more than two points.

Solution

Answer Key

1)  x2 - 4x + 7 = 0

2)  x2 - 6x + 13 = 0

3)  x4 - 16x2 + 4 = 0

4)  

  • If k < 0, then b2 - 4ac > 0. So, the roots are real.
  • If 0 < k < 8, then b2 - 4ac < 0. So, the roots are imaginary.
  • If k = 0 or k = 8, then the roots are real and equal.

5)  

m2x2 + 2x(mb - 2a) + b2 = 0

While solving any quadratic equation, we will get two solutions.
