  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    Given:

    x^2+5x+5

    To find:

    If α and β are the zeroes of x^2+5x+5 then Find a Polynomial with zeroes 1/α and 1/β?

    Solution :

    Given quardratic polynomial is x^2+5x+5

    On Comparing this with the standard quadratic Polynomial ax^2+bx+c

    a = 1

    b= 5

    c= 5

    We know that

    Sum of the zeroes = -b/a

    => α + β = -5/1

    α + β = -5 ——-(1)

    Product of the zeroes = c/a

    α β = 5/1

    α β = 5———(2)

    We know that

    The Quadratic Polynomial whose zeroes (1/α) and (1/β) is K[x^2-[(1/α)+(1/β)]x+(1/α)(1/β)]

    => K[x^2-{(α + β)/α β}x +(1/α β)]

    =>K[x^2-(-5/5)x+(1/5)]

    =>K[x^2-(-1)x+(1/5)]

    =>K[x^2+x+(1/5)]

    => K[5x^2+5x+1]/5

    If K = 5 then

    => 5[5x^2+5x+1]/5

    =>5^2+5x+1

    Answer:

    The required quardratic polynomial is 5^2+5x+1

    Used formulae:

    • The standard quadratic Polynomial ax^2+bx+c
    • Sum of the zeroes = -b/a
    • Product of the zeroes = c/a
    • The Quadratic Polynomial whose zeroes α and β is K[x^2-(α+β)x+αβ]
