CASE STUDY 1:

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.

1. In the standard form of quadratic polynomial, ax2 + bx + c, a, b and c are

a) All are Polynomials.

b) All are rational numbers.

c) ‘a’ is a non zero real number and b and c are any Polynomials.

d) All are integers.

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

4. The graph of x2+1 = 0

a) Intersects x‐axis at two distinct points.

b)Touches x‐axis at a point.

c) Neither touches nor intersects x‐axis.

d)Either touches or intersects x‐ axis.

Answers: c) Neither touches nor intersects x‐axis.

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)

Answers: c) k(x2 + px – 1/p)

CASE STUDY 2:

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.
