Question

Which of the following quadratic equations has real and distinct roots ?

Find the zeroes of the polynomial q(x) = 8x² – 2x – 3. Hence, find a polynomial whose zeroes are 2 less than the zeroes of q(x).

Find the zeroes of the polynomial r(x) = 4x² + 3x − 1. Hence, write a polynomial whose zeroes are reciprocal of the zeroes of polynomial r(x).

There is a circular park of diameter 65 m as shown in the following figure, where AB is a diameter. An entry gate is to be constructed at a point P on the boundary of the park such that distance of P from A is 35 m more than the distance of P from B. Find distance of point P from points A and B respectively.
