The below picture are few natural examples of parabolic shape which is represented by a
quadratic polynomial. A parabolic arch is an arch in the shape of a parabola. In structures,
their curve represents an efficient method of load, and so can be found in bridges and in
architecture in a variety of forms.
c) ‘a’ is a non zero real number and b and c are any Polynomials.
Answers: c) ‘a’ is a non zero real number and b and c are any Polynomials.
2. If the roots of the quadratic polynomial are equal, where the discriminant D = b2 –
4ac, then
a) D > 0
b) D < 0
c) D ≥ 0 d) D = 0
Answers: d) D = 0
3. If α and 1/α are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial 𝟐𝒙𝟐 – 𝒙 + 𝟖𝒌, then k is
a) 4
b) 1/4
c) –1/4
d) 2
Answers: b) 1/4
5. If the sum of the roots is –p and product of the roots is –1/p, then the quadratic
polynomial is
a) k(–px2 + x/p + 1)
b) k(px2 – x/p – 1)
c) k(x2 + px – 1/p)
d) k(x2 – px + 1/p)
CASE STUDY 2:
An asana is a body posture, originally and still a general term for a sitting meditation pose,
and later extended in hatha yoga and modern yoga as exercise, to any type of pose or
position, adding reclining, standing, inverted, twisting, and balancing poses. In the figure,
one can observe that poses can be related to representation of quadratic polynomial.
1. The shape of the poses shown is
a) Spiral
b) Ellipse
c) Linear
d) Parabola
Answer: d) Parabola
a) a ≥ 0
b) a = 0
c) a < 0
d) a > 0
Answer: c) a < 0
3. In the graph, how many zeroes are there for the polynomial?
a) 0
b) 1
c) 2
d) 3
Answer: c) 2
a) 2, 4
b) -2, 4
c) -8, 4
d) 2, -8
Answer: b) -2, 4
CASE STUDY 3:
Basketball and soccer are played with a spherical ball. Even though an athlete dribbles the
ball in both sports, a basketball player uses his hands and a soccer player uses his feet.
Usually, soccer is played outdoors on a large field and basketball is played indoor on a court
made out of wood. The projectile (path traced) of soccer ball and basketball are in the form
of parabola representing quadratic polynomial.
1. The shape of the path traced shown is
a) Spiral
b) Ellipse
c) Linear
d) Parabola
Answer: d) Parabola
a) a = 0
b) a < 0
c) a > 0
d) a ≥ 0
Answer: c) a > 0
a) 0 b) 1 c) 2 d) 3
Answer: d) 3
a) x3 + 2x2 – 5x – 6
b) x3 + 2x2 – 5x + 6
c) x3 + 2x2 + 5x – 6
d) x3 + 2x2 + 5x + 6
Answer: a) x3 + 2x2 – 5x – 6
