    A quadratic polynomial, the sum of whose zeroes is 0 and one zero is 4, is:

    A) \[{{x}^{2}}-16\]

    B) \[{{x}^{2}}+16\]

    C) \[{{x}^{2}}+4\]

    D) \[{{x}^{2}}-4\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] Let \[\alpha \] and \[\beta \] be the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial
    Then,           \[\alpha +\beta =0\]                       [Given]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\alpha +4=0\]        [ one zero is 4 (Given)]
    \[\Rightarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\alpha =-4\]
    \[\therefore \]  Zeroes of the polynomial are 4 and \[-4\]
    Product of the zeroes \[=4\times (-4)=-16\]
    \[\therefore \]The required polynomial
    \[={{x}^{2}}-(\text{Sum of zeroes})x+\text{Product of the zeroes}\] \[={{x}^{2}}-0x+(-16)={{x}^{2}}-16\]
